    Description

    This souvenir of the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, is a mini silver plate pocket hand mirror in the art nouveau style. Signature sinuous lines curve up to 3 flowers which hand over the "1904 World's Fair" inscription. The mirror is 4 inches high and 2 inches across at the widest. The mirror still reflects some, but there are some whitish spots and some tiny black flecks. It still displays well, but is only marginally functional as a mirror! The silver plate has worn in places,  revealing the brass below- most notably at the top of the mirror - see photo. There's also a small break in the metal at the end of the handle at the mirror. A beautiful little souvenir!
