Help me out here! Dug this up in my back yard here in Oregon a couple years ago. The coin is about the size of a silver dollar. On one side it has a wood stove and says . MAJESTIC RANGES MALLEABLE AND OLD STYLE CHARCOAL IRON across the top and WORLD FAIR SAINTLOUIS.MISSOURI. ON THE BOTTOM. on each side of the stove in small letters it says Grand Prize,Highest Award.
On the other side there is a 4 leaf clover in the center with the words good luck in the leaf peddals(worn very hard to see) and around the outside there are horse shoes with what looks to be zodiac signs in them.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. would also like to know if it has any value?
St. Louis worlds fair was 1904, Lot of different vendors would set up booths and some would erect whole buildings to show their wares. This is probably a "give-a-way" from that vendor. Here's a link that might help you out,www.1904worldsfairsociety.org/links.htm
