$8.00
A bronze medal commemorating the 1964-1965 World\'s Fair in New York City.
A famous event; here\'s what Wikipedia says about it:Hailing itself as a \"universal and international\" exposition, the fair\'s theme was \"Peace Through Understanding\", dedicated to \"Man\'s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe\".Americancompanies dominated the exposition as exhibitors. The theme was symbolized by a 12-story-high, stainless-steel model of the Earth called theUnisphere, built on the foundation of thePerispherefrom the1939 World\'s Fair.[4]The fair ran for two six-month seasons, April 22 – October 18, 1964, and April 21 – October 17, 1965. Admission price for adults (13 and older) was $2.00 in 1964 (equivalent to $19.65 in 2023 after calculating for inflation). Admission in 1965 increased to $2.50 (equivalent to $24.17 in 2023 after calculating for inflation). In both years, children (2–12) admission cost $1.00 (equivalent to $9.82 in 2023 after calculating for inflation). The fair is noted as a showcase of mid-twentieth-century American culture and technology. The nascentSpace Age, with its vista of promise, was well represented. More than 51million people attended the fair, though fewer than the hoped-for 70million. It remains a cultural touchstone for many AmericanBaby Boomerswho visited the optimistic exposition as children a few short years before the social and political turmoil of theVietnam Warera and the massive cultural changes of the later\'60s.
