Pardon the egregious error of our typo.
There's also the Trans Mississippi International Exposition of 1898 -- the "Omaha World's Fair" -- the only problem being that, while the TMIE also featured grandly ornate temporary buildings and gondola-plied waterways, like the 1893 Columbian Exposition and the 1904 St Louis World's Fair, it, too, included no building anywhere identified as a "stadium": http://trans-mississippi.unl.edu/mem.../TMI04521.html Perhaps Buffalo's 1901 Pan-American Exposition merits consideration as a candidate for the subject of the pin's image, since it provided similar buildings, waterways, and gondolas, plus an actual and substantial stadium. The Pan-Am's canal did not verge quite as closely on the stadium as the image suggests, but perhaps this is just the result of some artistic liberty. http://panam1901.org/graphicarts/tympalyn_map.jpg http://library.buffalo.edu/pan-am/ex...s/stadium.html http://panam1901.org/visiting/food/s...restaurant.htm Rob, every gewgaw, gimrack, and souvenir imaginable is produced for these sort of expositions.
