THE THEME OF THE FAIR WAS TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION. THE FAIR'S MOTTO WAS "SCIENCE FINDS, INDUSTRY APPLIES, MAN CONFORMS".

Description Of Item
RARE & HARD-TO-FIND VINTAGE 1934 CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR "A CENTURY OF PROGRESS" INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION SOUVENIR BUCKLE CLASP BRACELET. I BELIEVE THIS BRACELET IS BRASS & AT ONE TIME WAS SILVER PLATED. THE SILVER PLATE IS MOSTLY WORN OFF GIVING IT A RATHER PRETTY SILVERY GOLD LOOK. THROUGH THE BUCKLE, ON THE BAND, IN RAISED LETTERS, IT SAYS "WORLD'S FAIR CHICAGO 1934" ALONG WITH THE LOGO OF THE CENTURY OF PROGRESS WITH THE CIRCLE, & THE DECO SWOOSH. THE BUCKLE PORTION IS HINGED, & SLIPS UNDER TO FORM THE LOCKING PORTION. THIS BRACELET HAS BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED EMBOSSED SCENES OF CHICAGO & THE FAIR GOING AROUND THE BAND. IT SHOWS THE ELECTRICAL GROUP, TRAVEL & TRANSPORT, THE ILLINOIS HOST HOUSE, THE HALL OF SCIENCE, THE FEDERAL BUILDING, & THE FAMOUS SKY RIDE. THIS BRACELET HAD BEEN KEEP IN A TRUNK FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL I INHERITED IT FROM MY GREAT AUNT WHO WAS BORN IN 1890. THIS RARE BUCKLE CLASP SOUVENIR BRACELET IS TRULY AN HISTORICAL PIECE OF MEMORIBILIA EXHIBITING THE "INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION" WITH THE "GREAT DEPRESSION" SOON TO FOLLOW. IT WOULD DEFINATELY MAKE A GREAT TALKING PIECE IF WORN & WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO A COLLECTION.
