Beautiful Antique Souvenir Plate 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair Festival Hall

Description

THIS BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE PLATE CAME OUT OF AN OLD ESTATE AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND IS A SOUVENIR OF THE ST LOUIS 1904 WORLD'S FAIR!
THE PLATE IS 7 1/4" AND IT IS THE FORGET ME NOT PATTERN ATTRIBUTED TO CAMBRIDGE GLASS.
THE CENTER IS A REVERSE PAINTED GOLD AND MARKED FESTIVAL HALL & CASCADE GARDENS AND IT IS PAINTED GOLD AND NONE OF IT IS CHIPPED, THE LETTERING WAS PAINTED WHITE AND THERE IS LITTLE OF THE WHITE PAINT LEFT.
I RESEARCHED A LITTLE ABOUT THIS FAIR AND FOUND IT REALLY INTERESTING. RUMOR HAS IT THAT MORE FOOD ITEMS WERE INTRODUCED AT THIS FAIR THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY.  SOME OF THOSE WERE THE HAMBURGER, HOT DOG, PEANUT BUTTER, ICED TEA, THE CLUB SANDWICH, COTTON CANDY AND THE ICE CREAM CONE.
PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUCTION.
