Picked this up off EBay.Wondering if anyone can I.D. The sponsor M.C.A. I would like to think it was an early Marine Corps Association, the date the event was held was 9 November whitch is the day before the Marine Corps birthday. The Marine Corps Association was not formerly organized until 1911,so I doubt it is the sponsor. Plus the date 1886 puts it in the heyday of militias and fraternal para military organizations .Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks Mike
