Here's a fun little thing found in a drawer while otherwise moving old furniture! It is a small silver colored keychain which appears to have been a souvenir of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the theme of which was "A Century of Progress".

It has just a little wear on it, so it probably hasn't been used with keys on it much if at all. The finely detailed words and logo are stamped/filled with blue. I don't know what kind of metal it is made of, it is not marked anywhere as silver but is too heavy to be aluminum. Shown with a US quarter for size reference, it isn't quite 1-1/2" long.
I Was Born And Raised Just South Of "The Windy City"..Tho My Family's Roots Are To The South, There Was A Migration And Split In My Family in the late 1950s, Mostly To Do At The Time, with employment. My Grandfather migrated to the area and retired back to the South in the 80s after a stretch of 30 years at Caterpillar Tractor in the area..brings memories.
