Label TextSouvenir of World's Fair / Expo - “Pan Am 1901 Buffalo”. Ruby flashed objects were one of the most popular souvenirs of the fair. This type of commemorative glass first appeared at the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition. The glass is made by dipping a clear pressed glass object (mug, tumbler, toothpick holder, or glass) into a red staining. The thin red staining layer could then be etched with letters and even personalized with names.
