BELKNAP Lost Name (now GUNSTOCK) 1940s Skiing Pin NEW HAMPSHIRE Souvenir Travel

Description

Up for auction is a vintage, early (possibly 1930’s) "Belknap Mts. Area NH", ski pin . The back of this pin shows that it’s old. Gunstock Mountain Resort, originally known as Belknap Mountain Recreation Area, is a sports complex located on Gunstock Mountain in Gilford, New Hampshire. Constructed by the Works Progress Administration, it was completed in 1937. From 1937- 61 it was known as Belknap. In 1962 the name was changed to Gunstock. I believe this is a transition patch and likely from the early 1960’s. It is an adhesive backed patch. Unfortunately the back is permanently stuck to the back and cannot be peeled off.
