This is a neat and inexpensive way to start a collection of Americana or Worlds Fair memorabilia. It is not in perfect condition. Interestingly, the cup was made and the transfer ware artwork was done in Austria but it was sold at Norvell-Shapleigh Hardware Co. in St. Louis, Mo. It is available for purchase here
