Sesquicentennial Radiator Cap, 1926

01

Artifact Overview

The Sesquicentennial International Exposition celebrated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Though more than six million attendees visited Philadelphia in 1926, the fair was not profitable and disappointed organizers following the city's successful Centennial Exhibition of 1876. Still, many fairgoers commemorated the experience, returning home with souvenirs like this radiator cap depicting Philadelphia's Liberty Bell.
