Description

Aluminum gives HK-318 a light, pale look next to its brass twin HK-317, but the dies are the same. One side shows the Cascade Gardens of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition with a building beyond. The other side presents the Palace of Liberal Arts and its grounds, captioned with its size of 525 by 750 feet and a cost of 475,000 dollars, under "Worlds Fair St. Louis." The edge is reeded and both sides have beaded borders. The 1904 fair took in part of Forest Park and the Washington University campus, and visitors came to see motor cars, early flying machines and wireless telegraphy in the palaces. Aluminum, 36 mm.
