    San Francisco Worlds Fair P.P.I.E. 1915 Tower of Jewels lot Original Jewel Red
    My stepdad visited the San Francisco Treasure Island World’s Fair in 1939 when he was just a boy. His grandparents took him, I included a photo of him in ‘39. A few years later he started collecting World’s Fair memorabilia. 70 + years later my step-dad is gone and his collection (he collected many items from many different fairs, expos, and celebrations. Save my store and check back weekly for new lots and bundles).
    This lot is for the following:
    A red jewel from the Tower of Jewels. The jewel is in it’s holder which is stamped with the “patent Pending”.
    A mini souvenir Tower of Jewel spoon
    A mini souvenir Tower of Jewels Frying Pan
    A Tower of Jewels coin
    A pennant “Tower of Jewels at Night”
    A women’s “silk” cap. Sheer and delicate with some damage (tears). I put silk in quotes because I don’t know what it is made of.
    A Tower of Jewels ashtray, heavy.
    A “City of Domes” hard bound book by John D. Barry 1915
    A magazine article
    An envelope, 10 postcards and a trading card
    7 plates from a souvenir photo book (I think)
    6 amateur photos
    See the pictures for clarification on these items.
    I have 3 other bundles with a clear, green, and yellow jewel each and different add-ons.
    If anyone can identify the small jewel in the picture of all 4 larger jewels please let me know. It was in the same box and bag as the other jewels my step dad had put away.
    I am charged with selling some of my stepdad’s estate/collectibles for my mom. Save this store as a favorite as I will be listing bundles and singles for years to come, from games, political, sports, hollywood and civil war to an immense world class collection of worlds fair and exposition pieces.
    I bundle so that I will be able to get through everything, I will not break up bundles so please do not ask.
    Check out my feedback as a buyer and a seller. I pack well and ship promptly. I purposefully place my auctions/sales on Saturday and Sunday so that I can ship on Monday so prompt payment equals fast turnaround shipping. If I receive a bid during the week I pack up the item so it’s ready to go Monday morning, I only ship 2 days a week so prompt payment equals prompt shipping. No returns. I take careful pictures and work hard on the descriptions so please, serious bidders only. US only.
