Cincinnati Gilbert

I was just given this family relic. It is an ID pin for GGrandpa Bosaw. It is from a company he worked for in Cincinnati. I dont have his employement records.

They have been in business since 1893. The original family owners just sold it in 1995. I have made contact with the company for information, but have not heard back. : (
