Re: Franz Hiess had a booth; Chicago 1893.World's

...and from what I'm reading, there is an inventory of what he had on exhibit.

Some notes mention Ivory (he was registered as an Ivory Turner in the Vienna city directory of 1870) but, nothing saying gambling even though we know he did this and other gaming stuff.

One Historian mentions since my Ivory was found in the US, it just might be the piece on exhibit and sold in Chicago but, of course, there is no way I can find that if I cannot locate inventory photos.

I have been working on this since I bought it...
