xphobe New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/24/2011 01:57 am I tried to send Bryan a PM but I got an error message. Guess newbies like me have to have a certain # of posts before using the PM system? Anyway, in an old thread he had mentioned the Cairo Street elongated from the 1893 Columbian Exposition, and I was going to tell him that I used to have one. I sold it to the guy who put up the 1893 Expo website, and unfortunately his pic links seem to be broken now, but I still have a picture of it on my server. Bryan, is this one of the two that you know of? Report this Post to the Staff

I believe I have seen a few different designs of elongated coins from the Columbian Expo but the Cairo street is the most popular. Thanks for showing it Report this Post to the Staff
xphobe New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/24/2011 12:35 pm My great-grandfather actually operated one of the elongating machines at the Expo. Here are the other ones. My grandfather kept them all in a little cardboard box, and eventually gave them to me. http://71.1.42.94/elongated When Tom approached me to buy the Cairo Street, I wasn't going to sell at first because it was a family heirloom, but he made me a surprisingly generous offer I couldn't refuse. I think my ggf would have approved, because it allowed me to buy this for my type set instead: Report this Post to the Staff
