Need help ID'ing World's Fair Item

Hey, fellow treasure hunters!

I found this item from the Chicago World's Fair in the ruins of an old PA farmhouse. I have had no success in my research to determine what it was originally or what it might be worth.

If you have any ideas, that would be great. Links to photos would be especially appreciated!

Thanks, everyone!

You were exactly right, pkb! I found an identical one on ebay which sold for about $60. Also, there is a photo of one here.

It appears as if they are somewhat unusual to find and mine is in pretty good condition compared to the second one. It has a bit of the gilt left, but not a ton.

I guess I'll mark this solved, then. Finally!
