Novelty Night Lights souvenirs from a CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR

On the shade of the lantern pictured above is seen the letters SS followed by the word CHICAGO 1934.

On the shade of the lantern pictured above is seen the word PROGRESS  and the letters CHI.

It is most likely that the complete  wording would read as follows
​A CENTURY OF PROGRESS  CHICAGO 1934

The fair was scheduled to only run from May 27th 1933 to November 12th 1933.
As it was a great success it was reopened on May 26th 1934 and ran until October 31st of the same year.
​This world's fair was organised to celebrate the city's centennial 1833 to 1933.
