We collect both Columbian Exposition and Century of Progress items. The photos are of a Columbian exposition Borad of Lady Managers Diploma of Honorable Mention. It is framed.
It reads:

Witness our hands and seal this 18th day of June 1894.

It also has an embossed seal and underneath notes Western Bank Note Company.
