THE LIBBEY GLASS COMPANY, WHO HAD A PAVILLION AT THE CHICAGO EXHIBITION OF 1893, PRODUCED THESE SOUVENIR AXES. APPARENTLY THEY SOLD LIKE HOTCAKES AT THE FAIR BECAUSE OF THE LIZZY BORDEN CASE, WHO GAVE HER FATHER TWO WHACKS WITH AN AXE! THIS ONE IS CLEAR IN COLOR (THE ORIGINAL COLOR!) AND MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 8" LONG. ONE SIDE SHOWS A PROFILE OF GEORGE WASHINGTION WITH "THE FATHER OF THIS COUNTRY" ON IT. THE OTHER SIDE IS MARKED SIMPLY WITH WORLD'S FAIR 1893. THE END OF THE HANDLE HAS: LIBBEY GLASS CO. TOLEDO, OHIO. CONDITON IS FAIR. THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR BREAKS. THE END OF THE ACE HEAD IS CHIPPED, PLEASE SEE PHOTO AND THERE IS A CHIP TO EACH CORNER OF THE 'BLADE'. I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS, BUT NOT SURE YOU SEE IT WELL, SO I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT IT ISN'T PERFECT. ITS JUST AMAZING THAT SOMETHING THIS FRAGILE WOULD SURVIVE SO LONG AND STILL BE IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE. AS THIS IS AN ESTATE LIQUIDATION, ALL SALES ARE FINAL, SO PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. WE ARE WELL EXPERIENCED IN PACKING/SHIPPING WORLD WIDE, WHICH IS NOT EXPENSIVE FROM MONTREAL, CANADA. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister
