Worlds Columbian Exposition 4 Items Libbey Glass

World's Columbian Exposition: Four Items from the Libbey Glass Company. The number of Libbey souvenirs is vast, from blown glass art pieces, to drinking glasses, to paperweights and much more. The company operated a complete glass factory onsite on the midway and was one of the most successful concession at the fair. This lot includes: one red ticket, 1" x 2", which reads "This ticket Applies upon the purchase of any one article. Good for 10 cents this day only. Two or more tickets cannot apply on the same article. Libbey Glass Co." This ticket is also known in green. Doolin 70-72 are all different colors than this unlisted variety; a similar ticket, 15 cents, 3" x 1.5", same as above. Unlisted in Doolin.; salesman's ticket, 3" x 2", vertical heavy stock, off-white with No. 7243 in blue ink at the top, Libbey Glass Co. and a large "E" and place for a salesman's name. This has been seen in other letters, although it is very rare. We assume this was tied to a purchase or delivery of items from the factory. Unlisted in Doolin; a 4-page brochure including an outstanding cover photo of the Libbey factory on The Midway. It is titled "Libbey Glass Company's Factory/In full operation at the World's Fair/Located on the Midway Plaisance, adjoining the Illinois Central R.R.," which was near the east end of The Midway on the north side. From the collection of Norm Bolotin.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:47464
