    Description

    Small, rounded glass paperweight filled with seashells. On the top shell it says "From Exposition 1900". I am assuming this was the Paris Exposition. I couldn't find another like this in my searches, but did find some similar souvenirs from St. Louis's World Fair in 1904. The back is flat and has a cement like plaster holding the shells in place and then it is covered in the glass. Nothing really moves much inside. About 3 inches in diameter.
