1939-1940 New York World's Fair
Hard Cover Book "Time Tears On" with certificate and letter. The certificate states "The World's Fair Presents to Joseph H. Snyder This Token of its Grateful Recognition of Loyal and Efficient Service in Building the World of Tomorrow" with the Trylon and Perisphere and an outline of the fairgrounds behind the writing. Facsimile signatures of the President and the Chairman of the Board are at the bottom along with "New York World's Fair 1939 Incorporated". The lot also includes a thank you letter that is also a reference for future employment on official WF stationery and in a WF envelope. The book itself is 79 pages and was "Published by the Cashiers' Dollar Club". The book is loaded with photographs of fair employees (most probably in cashier's department), stories about the job and the fair, a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt (the first lady), and others important people like Grover Whalen. Too much for me to describe. Size: Book is 7 78" wide by 10 7/8" high. The certificate is 10 7/8"wide by 7 1/2' high. The letter is a regular letter and business envelope. Condition: Book is Excellent with a couple of light marks on the cover. Letter is Excellent. The Certificate has damaged edges, even a little paper loss and the right side is dirty, I would still call it Fine.
