Competing for valuable cash prizes were cattle, sheep, swine, and draft horses that had previously won top honors at state and regional fairs. In addition to the livestock judging contests, there was an evening horse show, agricultural displays and exhibits, special 4-H displays and events, etc. The Exposition was held in Chicago’s International Amphitheatre located next to the Union Stock Yard. During its 7-day run, the Exposition would typically attract an audience of 450,000 or more people. After the Stock Yard closed in 1971, the “International” moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where it continues to this day.In addition to the local Chicago newspapers, nearly every important farm paper in the United States and Canada, the major wire services, and many of the country’s leading dailies sent feature writers and staff correspondents to cover the International Live Stock Exposition.

This nicely made enamel lapel pin, which features the International Amphitheatre in bas relief, measures 1” in diameter.We’ve provided ample photo coverage it, so please study the images closely as they are an important part of the auction description.Official International Live Stock Exposition label pins from the 1930s don’t turn up on eBay all that often.
