miscellaneous
The Columbian Exposition of Chicago, 1892-93, was probably the first event for which a massive amount of merchandise was created. The Centennial celebrations of 1876 had some stuff, but there is a truly immense range of Columbian memorabilia.
Over the decades I’ve been selling collectibles my market has been about 97% coins, 2% paper money, 1% everything else.
