Libertyville Fair 1912 Glass Axe or Ax - Lake County Fair

Description

This souvenir ax looks like it could have come from the same mold as the World Columbian Exposition souvenirs made by Libby Glass Company. It has a crack as seen in the photo, a shallow chip on the blade and some fleabites where a child tried using it I suspect.   Along the handle is the fair name and year plus J. H.  So, we can assume these were etched at the Fair and not before hand.  Alabama, Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Colorado, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, Wisconsin & Washington, D.C.     420
