    Here is the Missouri Pacific magazine article from January 1927, detailing the 40-year pins for the veterans association. Note that from the article, this didn’t indicate retired employees necessarily, but was open to those who had worked for the company for 40 years, many of whom were apparently still employed.

    The “official” 40-year pin from 1927 onward is illustrated with the article, a slightly larger pin with more elaborate border design. I have another Missouri Pacific pin, the same size as the more common Booster Club pins, but missing the “Lines” designation and with a blue background. Could these have been an earlier version of the 40-year pins?
