    I have a pre-columbian embroidary that hung in the Chicago World's Fair. It was given to my Great Grandfather by Arlon Higginbothem of Joliet Il. How would I get it appraised? It still has the original fair tags.

    Der Mammuth, Elephas primigenius Blumenb. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach gave the woolly mammoth its first scientific name, Elephas primigenius, in 1799 The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was a species of mammoth, the common name for the extinct elephant genus Mammuthus. The woolly mammoth was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene. M. primigenius diverged from the steppe mammoth, M. trogontherii, about 200,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolly_mammoth
