Rare Vintage Texas Exposition Souvenir Heart-Shaped Trinket/Jewelry Box From Dallas,Texas.
The Embossed Metal Box Features The 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition Design On The Lid, With Texas Centennial Buildings Depicted In Relief Around The Sides--The Buildings Are Administration Building, Various Industries Electrical And Communications Building And Food And Agricultural Building.
An Unusual Small Applied Medallion On The Lid Reads:
“Greater Texas & Pan American Exposition – Dallas – June 12-Oct. 31 – 1937.”
The 1937 Greater Texas & Pan-American Exposition Followed The 1936 Texas Centennial At The Same Dallas Fair Park Location--The Placement Of The 1937 Medallion Suggests The Possibility That This 1936 Souvenir Was Updated For The Succeeding 1937 Exposition, Although I Have Not Been Able To Verify When Or By Whom The Medallion Was Applied.
Heart-Shaped Hinged Metal Box Has Silver And Gold Tone Detailing And A Fabric-Lined Interior--Hinge Is In Good Condition--Bottom Is Stamped Made In Japan.
Measurements: Approximately 2 1/2 Inches X 2 1/2 Inches X 3/4 Inch High With Lid Closed.
Vintage Condition With Age-Related Surface Wear, Tarnish, Finish Loss, Scratches And Wear/Staining To The Interior Lining--Please Examine All Photographs For Condition And Details.
An Unusual Piece Of Texas Centennial/Greater Texas & Pan-American Exposition Memorabilia Spanning Both The 1936 And 1937 Dallas Expositions.
