lot # 50269LA - Israeliana > Transport companies
Emblem pin of "HaMekasher" bus cooperative co., c. 1940's-50's; 11.75 x 15.5mm, 1.55g. Design based on the company logo except here initials at center "Sh.A.K." mean "Regular Bus Service" (Sherut Autobus Kavua), rather than the original "Sh.M.I" for "Intercity Automotive Service" (Sherut Mechoniot Ironiim). Founded 1931 & merged with "Egged" in 1967; 4 buses joined the cooperative in 1934 through a member: when his lines were incorporated into the service the company logo initials probably changed, hence est. dating here.
