Original, not a reproduction. The 1901 Pan-American Exposition Commemorative Stick Pin is a collectible item that pays homage to the World's Fair held in Buffalo, New York in 1901. This commemorative stick pin (likely brass) represents a piece of history from the United States' own World's Fair, showcasing a sense of nostalgia for the eventful year. With its design and origins, this stick pin serves as a tangible connection to the cultural significance of the exposition, making it a unique and valuable addition to any collection related to historical memorabilia and fairs.
The pin is shaped like a frying pan with a buffalo head inside the pan. This was actually a pun for "Pan" American and "Buffalo" NY were the event was held (and where President McKinley was assassinated).
