Description: This wonderful antique compact is a souvenir from the New York World's Fair of 1939. Done in cobalt blue and gold, It is quite rare to find, and very unusual. Wood with metal. Very good condition for its age. Amazing graphics featuring 3 different skylines! Marked 1940. About 2 3/4'' by 1/2''. Case does not contain any makeup. The 1939–40 New York World's Fair, which covered the 1,216 acres of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park (also the location of the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair), was the second most expensive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons. It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow".
