World's Fair Auction specializes in collectibles from World's Fairs held in the U.S. Charles Rand Penney began collecting American World's Fair memorabilia in 1970, thanks to family ties: his grandfather Thomas Penney, former District Attorney for Erie County, prosecuted President McKinley's assassin, who shot President McKinley at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in 1901. The late Floyd Hansen joined Dr. Penny as a consigner at World's Fair Auction, after operating an antiques mall and museum in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, where he delighted visitors with his World's Fair collection for many years. Tom Diddle joined World's Fair as an expert with an extensive collection of items primarily from the 1893 Columbian Exposition Chicago World's Fair. Together, World's Fair is the preeminent auctioneer of memorabilia from U.S. Fairs. Online at http://www.worldsfairauction.com.
