1907 Jamestown Exposition (300 years) Kansas City One Day Event Pinback

Description

1907 Jamestown Exposition (300 years) Kansas City One Day Event Pinback

In 1907, a large fair/exposition was held in Jamestown, Virginia to celebrate the founding of Jamestown in 1607  (300 year anniversary).  Lots of dignitaries attended the event, including Teddy Roosevelt.  This pinback was a tourist souvenir from the exposition.  It is estimated that 3 million people visited the exposition.

This rare Kansas City Booster one day event pinback measures 2 1/16″ across and is in good condition except for foxing along the edge.  It has the words “I am a Kansas City Booster Jamestown Exposition September 4th 1907”.  The backpaper is Whitehead & Hoag.  This item was from the Ira Reed Collection and is photographed in his 1907 Jamestown Exposition Price Guide (that was published around 2007 – 400 year celebration).   I will have over 30 Jamestown Expositions to post on my website.

Shipping for this item only is $3.50 as I use a secure shipping box to protect the pin. If you are purchasing multiple items, I will calculate shipping on your total purchase based upon weight and size to save you shipping costs.
