Crafted to commemorate a century of progress, this 1933 Chicago World's Fair medal captures the spirit of innovation and celebration. 


The medal features many iconic Good Luck symbols, including a Swastika, an emblem of prosperity and stability, flanked by an elephant, symbolizing strength and endurance, a top-open horseshoe, a flower (looks like a 4-leaf clover to me) and a rabbit's foot!

Struck in metal, it's a tangible piece of history that reflects the cultural and technological advancements of its era. Originating from the United States, this circulated piece is a testament to the historical events and the artistic representation of its time. It's not only a collector's item but also a slice of the past, embodying the legacy of the 1933 World's Fair and its remarkable impact on society.

What you see is what you get - I did not use any stock photos for this sale.

 

I combine shipping!

 

The combined shipping policy is relevant FOR PINS, WINGS, SAMPLE SLABS, COINS, ELONGATED COINS, TOKENS, MEDALS, and other SMALL ITEMS, is the full price for the auction with the highest shipping cost and then one additional dollar ($1) for each additional auction won.


Larger items will be packed, weighed, and combined as well.

If you win a few of my sales, please ask to receive a combined invoice for everything you won.

Returns are not accepted, unless I make a mistake in the listing or accidentally send you the wrong item (and such mistakes do, unfortunately, happen, though seldom).


If you have ANY questions - please ask ahead of the closing of the auction, and please be kind as to give me a few hours to respond.

Shipping is always via the cheapest method I can find, unless you want me to ship it any other way, such as Priority USPS, UPS, or FedEx. I can ship with any carrier, any way you want!

I use's system to calculate the shipping cost according to your location.  Sometimes,'s shipping cost system is stupidly wrong and the cost is way too much.  Especially with larger and heavier items!!!  I have no idea why, since I always enter the correct weight and dimensions of the packed item. Nevertheless, if you think the shipping cost is too high, please send me a message, tell me your zip code and what you see as the shipping cost, and I'll check to see if I can ship for less via UPS or FedEx!

This item comes from a smoke-free, dog-loving home. We have a beautiful dog, who loves to spread her hair on everything.  Although I do my best to clean everything that I ship out, encountering some of her lovely hair is a possibility.


I love to recycle, so there's a good chance that I will ship in a previously used envelope or box, and use paper and used grocery bags as packing and padding materials.

All of my store items have a MAKE AN OFFER option. If you make a stupid offer, I might counter with a stupid offer of my own. An offer for a few dollars less is reasonable. An offer for half of the listed price is not serious. 


Good luck & thank you for buying from me!
