Original antique souvenir from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York.
This substantial little cast-metal paperweight features a wonderfully detailed American buffalo or bison standing on an oval base. “1901” is molded prominently into one side of the buffalo, while “PAN-AMERICAN” and “EXPOSITION” appear in raised lettering around the base.
A marvelous survivor from the Buffalo world’s fair and an appealing addition to a collection of exposition memorabilia, antique advertising, American history, figural paperweights or bison décor.

An old circular label or adhesive remnant remains inside the hollow underside. Both horns, legs and curled tail appear intact. Please examine all photographs closely as part of the condition description.
