Description

My father got this but I don't know where or why. The vase has The Saint Louis World's Fair 1904 on it with a picture labeled as a USGovernment Building. I do know that at some point years ago, approx 60 years ago, some one afford my dad a very good price for it but my Dad declined.

My mother accidentally dropped some things on it and broke the back in several places. She glued it back together. It is not real noticeable but I am sure the damage greatly affects the price.

I have tried to find out more info on this for years. You would think that something as prominent as a World's Fair there would be all kinds of information about items from the fair.
