Brass Lapel Pin Button. Issued for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, this official souvenir lapel pin button measures approximately 0.65 inches (16 mm) in diameter and is crafted from stamped brass metal featuring a detailed relief engraving of the Western Hemisphere globe. Commemorating the historic 19th-century fair, the unsigned piece is stamped along its outer border with "WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION CHICAGO 1892," making it a highly sought-after item for exonumia, Americana, and exposition collectors.
