Here's a tiny token (15 mm) from the 1883 Southern Exposition.
Very nice!

Another example of finding something I did not know existed and discovering I must have it. This is a so-called dollar from 1904 Louisiana Purchase exposition. Not listed in HK but it is listed in the new Jeff Shevlin book. Rather scarce.

Hondo.....I'm still alive, just been too busy and haven't been able to find time to come here. I work 5:30pm till 6am in a shop and they're cracking down on cell phone use so I haven't been able to play online while my machines run like I used to. The badge you posted a photo of was for the Columbian Guard. Basically the police for the Columbian Exposition.

You mentioned sending me a DM but I have no idea how to get to it. I spent 15 minutes trying to find where it is here and gave up. I don't use social media so I have a lot of trouble trying to navigate and find certain things. Forums have been around a long time so I've learned how to post and upload images, but beyond that, I'm lost. LoL

Here's a few amazing and scarce additions I made to my 1893 Columbian Exposition collection over the last few months.

"Good for one cup cocoa"? Now that's my kind of token! Surprised, given the "German Village", it wasn't "good for one beer".

With all the beautiful and finely struck medals that've been posted here, I'm almost ashamed to show this exceedingly humble souvenir of the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. Aluminum, 32.7 mm in diameter. I seem to recall that in this era there were machines that allowed you to personalize your medal, and that would seem to be the case with this specimen.



Here's some information regarding this fair: https://americasbesthistory.com/wfp...and1905.html

Very interesting, Lucky Cuss!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I've been away for quite some time. Been trying to figure out this photo loading again. This one was in a previous post years ago. Found it at a yardsale. Had no idea what it was.
