Outstanding group of 1933–1934 Century of Progress Chicago World’s Fair material highlighted by an original “On to Chicago” Greyhound Lines advertising poster promoting travel to the exposition. This colorful Art Deco transportation piece anchors the lot and represents one of the most desirable fair-related graphics from the event.
Also included are two lithographed tin souvenir banks issued at the fair, including the Libby’s Treasure Ship example and an American Can Company Century of Progress bank. Both feature bright original graphics and remain highly collectible among World’s Fair and advertising collectors.
Additional material includes a Ford 1903–1933 commemorative medal from the Chicago World’s Fair, a 1939 New York World’s Fair button, 1933 Blockhouse Fort Dearborn elongated coin, General Motors Hall of Progress and Parade of Progress brochures, exposition maps, ticket stubs, postcards, and printed ephemera.
The Greyhound poster and souvenir banks are the headline pieces in this grouping, with strong crossover appeal to transportation, advertising, automotive, and World’s Fair collectors.
