    Description

    Unused "Singer Manufacturing" Gilt Award Ribbon from
    the Chicago 1893 World's Fair
    - 11 x 3 inches
    unfolded
    stiff cream strip
    with
    gilt print
    on an
    electric blue background
    (front cover shown); back blank. New York:
    Singer
    ,
    1893. (1) strip unfolded printed on smooth cream paper (front shown). I have included a scan of the top portion and another highly over exposed photo of the top portion for legibility (shown). Text illustrates their "blue ribbon award" at the WCE; printed
    December 26, 1893
    (shown). Used as an ad for customers I guess. A Victorian classic and still in business today!
