More info on the pin, It says "New York State Commission Paris Exposition 1900" and its from the World's fair in Paris 1900...cool stuff. That's something you don't find everyday..

Thanks, supposedly they were only issued that year, who would've knew...I am hung up on this 1900's bronze Paris exposition badge...Numismedia had it listed, but that s all I could find so far

Wow, what are the odds of a hundred and fourteen year old Paris Exposition commision shield existing, let alone being recovered with a shovel and a screen!?! Exceptional find. Nice cleaning job as well.

I am sure it does, but I don't want to force the issue and break the lens..

Toothbrush (extra soft bristles) tiny bit of baking soda and very gently brush with water

Some information on the 1900 Paris Exposition, since I can't find Jack Chism on the badge. So I figured I'd she'd some history light on it.. everything I am reading about the items from the 1900 exposition are either in big time private collections or under lock and key in university vaults..

I hope so, given the items I have been finding says the family that lived in the area had a high social standing..a couple $5 liberty heads would suit me just fine..
