Artifact Overview

"Pickle King" H.J. Heinz had tremendous success with the pickle charm promotion at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This prompted him to create a greater variety of giveaways including pins, badges, and other items seen in this display board -- created for and displayed in the original Heinz company museum.
