Pair of Small Pins Relating to the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition. Included are: <strong>Employee Pinback Badge. White Metal. Extremely Fine.</strong> 32.3 mm x 26.4 mm. Serial number at center, 17983. Apparently an identification number attached to the identity of the wearer. We have seen several others of similar style. Pin closure bent. <strong>Exposition Crest of Arms pin. Brass. Extremely Fine.</strong> 30.8 mm x 34.1 mm. Stamped on the back, CHICAGO / 1893. Pin closure bent, but intact. Apparently a made-up crest for the event. We have seen these with enameling and without, as here. A third small pendant is included, a small brass wreath with a "13" at center. This may not be an Exposition piece, but it was found with the other two offered here. Also included in this lot is a <strong>Ribbon for the International Congress of Anthropology</strong>, held in Chicago in September 1893. Red silk, lettered in silver, with a simple safety pin for attachment. (Total: 4 pieces)
