That would be great if it's bronze man! I found one years ago from the 1893 Chicago Fair and it was made of aluminum. Mine doesn't look near as nice as yours though, I love the building pictured on yours. I should try and find mine and post a picture of it for you to compare.

Thanks again,
Dave

Hey Scott, well after looking I finally found it. I tried to take clearer pictures of it, I must have taken at least 10, maybe I'm just getting tired. Here are the clearest ones that I got for you.

On the side with the lady it says:
World's Columbia Exposition, S.D. Childs & Co. Chicago

On the other side it says:
Chicago Day, Oct. 9, 1893

Hope this helps you Scott,
Dave

dave really nice token so much fun to dig i got a different detector last week because my 16 year old detector was having fits went to a site that i haven't been there in @ 15 years didn't expect very much put a 4 1/2" coil on went in the front yard of the old stagecoach inn got callouses on my hand digging targets i am amazed!! i would never think that targets that big could be there and lots of them got lucky that the new detector works so well in an iron field my hunting friend runs a minlab sovereign he's out in the woods finding things i will take one picture of everything in a week or so thanks scott
