    Description
    Antique souvenir thimble holder from the 1893 Columbian Exposition Worlds Fair in Chicago.
    The sailboat is made from a mother of pearl shell base and sail, brass/pressed metal riggings and anchor, and a bisque porcelain boy.  Metal stand base.
    The piece measures roughly 4" long and 3 1/2" tall.
    It is in good condition for its age.  The metal has darkened and the post that holds the thimble is worn as shown, but that wouldn't show if a thimble was placed on it.
    No thimble included.
    Nice unusual piece for your collection.  I've not seen this ship with the little figure before.
    Please note
    , the figure is mounted an a little post.  It is not glued so it will come off if the piece is turned over, etc.  So please use care when handling.
