 On June 1, 1909 in Seattle, on what is now the University of Washington campus, the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition opened. It operated until October 16 and was a resounding success with thousands of people visiting. Two original fair buildings were recently still in use by the university. Also still there is the beautiful fountain which was originally called "Geyser Basin." Standing looking toward the fountain one can see the majestic beauty of Mt. Rainier rising above and behind the geyser.

Very interesting and unusual AYPE sugar dispenser. You hold the dispenser over your coffee cup and press the button on the base and a measured amount (about 1 teaspoon I think) of sugar is dispensed. The whole thing is 7 3/4 inches tall and is the "Sunburst" pressed glass design. Metal parts are plated. I have not tried to polish it. There is considerable plating loss. $95.00 postpaid.
