999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 11:43 am New to my Century of Progress collection yesterday: Brass, 1-1/4" diameter Obverse: Indian chief in profile A CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPOSITION / SOUVENIR Reverse: Fort Dearborn CHICAGO ILLINOIS 1933 / FORT DEARBORN I'm delighted to add this medal which appears to be a bit more elusive than the full-face Indian Chief medal. Catalog reference: Eglit CP40 Question: Is there an online listing of C of P medals? Edited by 999fine 09/29/2019 11:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 01:04 am 1893 Columbian Exposition Administration Building - Ferris Wheel So-called Dollar HK-170 The world's first Ferris Wheel was erected at the center of the Midway at The 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition. Built on speculation by George W. Ferris, a bridge builder from Pittsburgh, the ride was the fair's most prominent engineering marvel. The wheel rose to 264 feet, surpassing the Eiffel Tower, and offering breathtaking views of the fair and the city. I actually remember learning about the Ferris Wheel and inventor George W. Ferris in grade school. Almost all wheels at amusement parks and carnivals are referred to as "Ferris Wheels" but this was the one they get their name from. It must have been amazing. There were 36 cars, each fitted with 40 revolving chairs and able to accommodate up to 60 people, giving a total capacity of 2,160. The wheel carried some 38,000 passengers daily and took 20 minutes to complete two revolutions, the first involving six stops to allow passengers to exit and enter and the second a nine-minute non-stop rotation, for which the ticket holder paid 50 cents.

999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 1:46 pm TNG - the Ferris Wheel Columbian Expo is one of those on my "well maybe some day" list of hopefuls. Congrats on having one. Nice history lesson as well. That was quite a "ride" for 50 cents, which was a lot back then. And, the size of the cars... I had no idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Not to detract from the grandeur of the Ferris Wheel, but it was not taller than the Eiffel Tower. From Wikipedia: Intended as an attraction in the same manner as the 1889 Paris Exposition's 324-metre (1,063 ft) Eiffel Tower, the Ferris Wheel was the Columbian Exposition's tallest attraction, with a height of 80.4 metres (264 ft).
