Notes: From Wikipedia: "YMCA, sometimes regionally called the Y, is a worldwide youth organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, with more than 64 million beneficiaries in 120 countries. It has nearly 90,000 staff, some 920,000 volunteers and 12,000 branches worldwide. It was founded in London on 6 June 1844 by George Williams as the Young Men's Christian Association. The organization aims to put Christian values into practice by developing a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

"YMCA is a non-governmental federation, with each independent local YMCA affiliated with its national organization. The national organizations, in turn, are part of both a geographically regional area alliance and the World Alliance of YMCA. YMCA programs vary between nations and regions but are all based on the principles espoused in the Paris Basis.

"The YMCA is a parachurch organization based on Protestant values."

The plates have a YMCA logo that is similar to the one shown above in red and black that was used from 1897 to 1967. The plate with a blue band around the outer edge and a blue strip around the top of the verge was apparently a sample plate with details on the back showing that Carr's number for the crest or logo was 118.
