      Appreciate it, do you know of it's significance in the 1904 world fair? Like if they government building that was unofficially apart of the world fair was giving these out of if the glass was sold directly at it?

      U.S. Government Building

      Architect: James Knox Taylor, United States Treasury Department

      Modeled after the Roman Pantheon, the building represented every department of the government. Constructed at a cost of $335,000, the building contained the Exposition’s working post office, and housed artifacts from the Smithsonian Institute. Other aspects emphasized the United States natural resources with films teaching about forest preservation and the establishment of the country’s national parks. The Government Fisheries Building displayed both fresh and saltwater fish, the Department of Agriculture displayed the most recent developments in the preservation of dairy products, and the War Department set up models of Civil War battlefields and gave live demonstrations of the guns used in the nation’s costal defense.
