Wonderful example of a Magnus engraved letter sheet. Shows all the Presidents up to Franklin Pierce. Nip out of upper left corner. Slight crumpling which can not be seen in the scan along both edges. Other minor wear which does not detract much from this nice item. Scan does not show the entire sheet.

Rather poor condition on this Currier with tears, some mended with archival tape and others not. Hole in the title between the word Of and General. I think it would look pretty good framed where the tears will be flattened out. Encapsulated. See scans.

See scan for the condition on this interesting campaign item

This bandana has an overall good appearance but close inspection reveals several pinholes, a jagged small tear, a cluster of small holes (shown magnified in the scan) which appears to be insect damage. There are also several small dark stains scattered throughout. Not as terrible as it sounds.

Some age spotting on the ribbon, not that bad

Large complete sheet which can not be seen completely in the scan. Light water stain which cover the bottom margin. Embossed stamp of the music company at right hand bottom edge. Scattered age spotting with heaviest stain in upper left hand corner. Brown spot at upper left margin of the oval. Penciled name of owner at top margin and a date. Cover is separated from the rest of the sheet music.

Nice condition.  Thumb moves up or down

Andrew Johnson's home town paper, the Greeneville Intelligencer (Tennessee), reports his death in this black bordered paper. Four black bordered pages, with the inside two devoted to Johnson's life and career. Regular news on the first page. This was a weekly paper. Johnson died on July 31 and this was the earliest issue possible. The editor of the paper was his son, Andrew Johnson, Jr. Paper has been encapsulated to protect it from further damage. Considerable wear along the lengthwise fold with some loss of text through the holes and separation. Hopefully you can view this on the scan. Ignore the flash reflection on the mylar. See large holes at the outside border but this does not affect the text There are folds on the mylar from storage so can mail paper folded. It would be a challenge to mail flat as it is a large paper.

A light photograph and grease or age spots with one corner clip reduce the pleasure in this neat advertising CDV.

Nice condition. Hake 3018.

Great graphics on this masthead of a letter head featuring the Republican candidates for 1888. Two punch holes at the top, a tear at the mid left hand edge and a small hole at the opposite edge. Also a tear at the bottom edge.

Nice seated pose of President Johnson.

Graphics are great on this thick stock calling card sized item. Glue and scrapbook remnants on the back. I'm not sure what this was made for, perhaps a dinner.

Here is a cane which is rarely offered and then only in auction. Excellent condition with remnants of the original paint still visable. Appears to be on the original stick. Rare opportunity for the cane collector. 

Handsome five and a half inch ribbon, though worn looking and with wrinkles. Dingy appearance.

Bronze. Quarter size. Somewhat worn on both sides.

One and three quarter inch medallion for Grover Cleveland and Stevenson. Reverse as clean as the front and shows a scene from Columbus landing in American.

Nice condition.

This photograph was produced by Schleier, Nashville Tennessee Photographer following Garfield's assassination. 

Two lovely photogravures of Lincoln, one taken in 1860 and the other in 1864. Evidently cut to be placed in a frame. Great clarity and depth.

Presidential campaign item featuring Benjamin Harrison and Whitelaw Reid. Their portraits are on a celluloid strip attached to a ribbon. Nice condition with the exception of a repaired (with thead) slit in the celluloid which appears at the top right hand corner. Some fraying of the white portion of the ribbon at the bottom. Still a great looking item.

This, like most Andrew Jackson campaign items, is anti-Jackson. This is a period cartoon, one of a series, this one being Plate 5. This cartoon has added interest due to the Blacks portrayed having a political argument. This is a small color lithograph print, measuring a little over 7 inches long. Encapsulated between mylar sheets. Nice condition except for a tiny tear in a margin and area missing out of bottom right hand corner. Purchased from a very prominent Andrew Jackson collector.
