That's very cool. Love how it opens up!
Awesome!
You press with your finger nail on the B in Columbia and it pops open, then the door slides over a little and then it opens the rest of the way.

I think it would make a very cool pocket piece
Nice item. Apparently many people met their future mates while attending the Columbian Exposition in 1893 so souvenir items such as this make a lot of sense. One of my Great Grandfathers, a recent immigrant from Sweden, met his future spouse, my Great Grandmother, at the Columbian Expo. She was of Swedish decent and lived in the Pekin, Illinois area at the time.
Very nice item... Is the individual in the picture identified? The portrait of Chris on the front looks as if he was just goosed....

That is a nice item, even without the "box dollar" aspect to it.
very nice.

no it does not spring open, you have to push down and that opens it

Very cool.... Years ago I was the underbidder on a 1878 Trade dollar that was similar in design.... Have kicked myself over it numerous times since.
Successful trades.... MichaelDixon,
