Nine pieces from November 12, 1936, the opening of the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge. A bronze book mark, two buttons with ribbons, a medal, a souvenir badge, and five tokens including fractional gold replica 1/2 dollars. The toll bridge was conceived as early as the California Gold Rush days, but construction did not begin until 1933. Designed by Charles H. Purcell, and built by American Bridge Company, it opened on Thursday, November 12, 1936, six months before the Golden Gate Bridge.
