    Sorry. Was not reading you correctly. Will be in the shop tomorrow and check for you. Can't say I remember seeing it lately but who knows?

    She still has it. The price is $69.00 rather than the $65.00 I remembered. She would be willing to ship. Interesting thing about hers is that it bears an inscription as a souvenir from the Century of Progress which would date it to 1939. Maybe from a Florida pavilion? I will load a pic I took of it in the morning and if you are still interested, will PM you her phone number.

    Here it is. Took awhile to figure how to download pics from my phone, as I had never done it. Phone camera takes pretty good pics but distorts a bit.

    Tried to do a little research on the connection to the Century of Progress. Was wrong in my previous post. The date was the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair so a bit earlier. I found that there was no Florida Pavilion, though there was probably some kind of Florida representation in the States building. There was a Seminole Indian Village set up at the fair so it is possible it came from there.

    Thanks @verybrad. These things are so bizarre and specific. I have one from the same dates and found that Florida sponsored a house in the Century of Progress Homes exhibition. There was also the Cypress Log Cabin which was sponsored by the Southern Cypress Manufacturer’s Association, also of Florida.
