This is a rare out-of-print, highly sought-after softcover reference catalog titled 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair Mementos and Memorabilia, written by prominent exposition authority Robert L. Hendershott. This comprehensive handbook is widely considered the "ultimate checklist" and identification bible for anyone who collects, buys, or sells physical souvenirs from the landmark 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri.
Spanning an AMAZING 366 pages, this book is packed with valuable historical context and highly specific catalog metrics to help collectors confidently organize their collections.
Key Subject Matter & Research Focus:
  • Expansive Souvenir Categories: Comprehensive checklists covering glass and porcelain souvenirs, ruby stained glass, metal trinkets, clocks, spoons, bookmarks, and paperweights.
  • Cover Feature Art: Displays a beautiful oval portrait layout showcasing a rare, ornate souvenir desk clock designed in the shape of an exposition palace building, set against the American flag.
  • Identification & Rarity Clues: Detailed logs tracking official manufacturers, material dimensions, patent dates, and structural indicators to help separate genuine 1904 pieces from modern reproductions.
Condition Specifications:
  • Format: Oversized paperback reference guide with a traditional glued soft spine layout.
  • Cover State: Excellent condition! The bright yellow cover stock remains remarkably bold, clean, and free of heavy workspace thumb-smudging, oil stains, or deep creases.
  • Spine & Binding: The square paper spine is completely flat, tight, uncreased, and firmly holds all 255 interior pages securely. No loose leaves or split hinges.
  • Interior Pages: Clean, crisp, and fully legible text block. Pages remain unmarked by ink handwriting, dealer stamps, highlights, or dog-ears.
