Capturing a fascinating chapter of New Orleans medical history, this vintage CNNO 50-year milestone service award dates from the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. The piece is crafted from gold-tone metal and features a vibrant, glossy emerald-green enamel shield displaying a stylized "CNNO" monogram layout. The central emblem is framed by a classic golden laurel wreath of honor and topped with a regal crown, accompanied by a dangling "50" charm to celebrate a half-century milestone. The reverse side includes both a secure pin-back clasp and a built-in pendant bail loop, allowing it to be worn interchangeably as a lapel brooch or threaded onto a chain as a necklace. This dual-wear capability and era-specific fired enamel craftsmanship point to a professional nursing leadership or clinical network award from the Greater New Orleans area, such as the Certified Nurse Practitioners of New Orleans. Ultimately, it serves as a fine example of mid-century regional Louisiana historical memorabilia and specialized institutional jewelry.
