This is a badge from Sierra Vista Ranch in Tulare County, California. It was a fruit ranch for many years, reaching 40,000 acres at its height. It was during WWII that the ranch was turned into an internment for American citizens of Japanese descent, one of the many stains on American history. This brass badge is from that period. It measures about 1.5" and is in nice condition, except for a missing pin back. Please see photos for more details. Delano California
