Olympic Games / World’s Fair (Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis) Souvenir Pin
Description:
Rectangular vintage souvenir enamel lapel pin depicting text "OLYMPIC GAMES” at top and "WORLD’S FAIR / LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION / ST. LOUIS, U.S.A.” at bottom. Red/orange background with an oval central vignette showing a pale blue/cream scenic view (likely the Fairgrounds/Grand Basin or Festival Hall). Decorative art-nouveau style border and lettering consistent with early 20th century World’s Fair graphics. Small metal lapel pin / clutch back (pin back not visible in provided image). Likely a souvenir/trade pin produced for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis World’s Fair) which hosted the 1904 Olympic Games. Size appears roughly around 1 inch tall (based on typical souvenir-pin proportions). Item is a historic commemorative souvenir rather than a modern licensed pin.
