Lovely heavy 1892 to 1893 Chicago World's Fair souvenir spoon. Wonderful design of two globes make up the end. Stamped on the back "STERLING" and it has the hallmark of a "W" in a circle as well as the seller's hallmark "O.D. Peacock" or it may be "C.D." The W is the Frank Whiting hallmark.

In 1897 the company was incorporated and later was purchased by the Ellmore Silver Company of Meriden, CT. Their line included sterling silver flatware, hollowware, novelties, souvenir spoons, and baby goods."
Measures about 5 3/4" long. Engraved "Idelle" in the bowl and again on the back. Wonderful Columbian Exposition souvenir. Also has a "1492" and a "1892" in a raised design on the back. Superb Art Nouveau period piece.

ANTIQUE HEAVY BRASS 1933 CHICAGO EXPO WORLD'S FAIR TRAY
This is a very nice 1933 Chicago World's Fair Collectible tray measuring 10" by 7". It shows what looks like an aerial view etched into the brass of the festivities of this fabulous fair. All sorts of buildings are depicted as well as a tiny blimp (zepelin, dirigible?) towards the left top corner and a couple of little airplanes. In very nice condition, the tray shows minor wear and surface scratches but nothing to detract from the scene. The lip of the tray also shows some minimal use and has a tiny hole at the center top...this may have been there originally to hang onto a wall. I'm unsure, but it doesn't detract. This has been a keeper for years; I've never seen it in any guides, so I'm not sure how rare it is.

1958 MODERNIST BELGIAN WORLD EXPO ATONIUM BROOCH
This is a delightful memento from the 1958 World Fair Exposition in Belgium (Brussels Bruxells). It is a goldtone pin measuriing about 1 5/8" in diameter. A lovely openwork filligree type design surrounds a center medallian or coin center wth the atonium symbol and a "58" off to the side. One little tine off to the top right section has detatched, but it is unnoticeable and non detracting. A lovely piece for the World's Fair collector, this unusual piece is sure to be a welcomed addition to any serious collection of memorabilia, especially the most atomic age of all the fairs.
I puchased this myself while visiting friends in Brussels a few years back.
