Title: Don't suppose it was anyone on here that picked this baby up.... Post by: Jacko1070 on May 24, 2012, 03:34:32 pm This soda fountain was part of the 1893 World's Fair Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. Built by the Liquid Carbonic Co., the backbar is mostly onyx with black and green variegated marble column caps and trim. The Schmidt family purchased it in 1976. Estimated value before auction: $75,000 and $125,000. it sold for $4.5 million. Title: Re: Don't suppose it was anyone on here that picked this baby up....
