US Sesquicentennial Cookie Tin
Description:
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the United States, the Sesquicentennial Exposition was held in Phila-delphia, Pennsylvania in 1926. Thirty nations participated, but due to heavy rain that plagued the expo, it was less successful than its centennial predecessor.
This commemorative cookie tin is labeled "Sesqui-Cookies." It has a sliding lid on which is printed the manufacturer, Ivins, and an image of the Liberty Bell. The front side features an image of Independ-ence Hall. The reverse side features Philadelphia landmarks: the Free Library, City Hall Tower, the Delaware River Bridge, and the Art Gallery.
