Group of 2 items including a souvenir breast badge and tie pin from the Midwinter Fair, from the Prag collection. The California Midwinter International Exposition took place in Golden Gate Park in 1894, drew over two million visitors. Called “California Midwinter International Exposition,” a name that emphasized the state’s salubrious climate, so mild that a mostly outdoor fair could open while East Coast cities hunkered under January sleet and snow. The exposition opened on January 27, 1894 (outsidelands.org)
