1904 Worlds Fair-Saint Louis, Missouri

1904 World's Fair-Saint Louis, Missouri

I found this today in the small town of Mazeppa, MN.
It says
Majestic Ranges Martel Able And Old Style Charcoal Iron.
Grand Prize - Highest Award
World's Fair
Saint Louis, Missouri

In 1904 Saint Louis, Missouri World's Fair celebrates
the Centennial of the Louisanna Purchase exposition.

This medal has no date on it and I think it's from 1904.
I could not find anything on it or what it was awarded for.
Any help would be appreciated.

This advertising token for Majestic ranges/stoves was issued shortly after the company received an award at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (world's fair) held in St. Louis in 1904. The obverse displays one of their ranges. The design on the reverse features various good luck symbols, including a four-leaf clover and a border composed of horseshoes enclosing signs of the zodiac.

Majestic issued another 1904 grand prize token of different design, with only lettering on the obverse and a ship on the reverse.

Both varieties are listed in Hendershott's 1904 St. Louis World's Fair Mementos and Memorabilia at $5-25.

Looks like some kind of good luck token from the one side. Does the clover side with the hole in it move/spin?

Here is a link to one on eBay:

Thanks DMN. I looked at the one you posted and I can see more detail.
The hole go's through the token. What you see is the book under it.

I just found one of these brass Majestic tokens last month while detecting an old house lot in Brownwood, Texas. I just got around to cleaning some of last month's finds so I was able to finally read enough of it to identify it. I love finding old tokens like this.
