Cool find but it's not from the 1893 World's Fair.

1911 American Mining Congress
Manufactured by The Whitehead & Hoag Co. Newark, NJ

This complete one still on its original card sold for $23.00

Go to the Western & Eastern Treasure magazine website and click on "Ask Mark Parker". Submit the photo and he will probably be able to tell you about the pin and its value.
 
Very cool.

I recently found this curb strip hunting in Jacksonville, Florida. No idea what it is nor the age but I like it.

Great find and Greater ID!
They also held a world's fair (or exposition) in Chicago in 1933 or 1939 I believe.
I found a silver ring from that once.
