No glaring defects, just old and worn with pride.Read the story:Heinz debuted the now-iconic 1 1/8-inch pickle charm, made of gutta percha, in 1893 at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. After realizing his company’s exhibition space was tucked away on the second floor of the Agricultural Building, Heinz knew he needed to find a creative solution to encourage people to visit his booth.Heinz enlisted the help of several local boys who scattered printed tags offering a free souvenir to all who visited the Heinz exhibit. Thousands of people trekked upstairs to the Heinz booth to claim their prize—so many that police officers were called to help control the crowds. The souvenir they received was a small, pickle-shaped charm, emblazoned with the company’s name and intended to attach to their pocket watch chains or brooches. As one advertisement noted, “A man who found himself in a pickle was saved by one.”
