Campaign Pewter Rim Mirror Circa Late 1820s. Sold for Nearly $7,000.
The following are some political and historical items we have sold:
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s personally owned portfolio-style briefcase used by the President in the late 1930’s. Black leather zippered portfolio is printed with his initials F.D.R. in gilt on the front. Accompanied by several pages of original contents from the time it was auctioned by the Roosevelt family: five typed sheets concerning FDR’s election campaign, hand-dated 2 May 1938. The pages contain excerpts from Senator Sheridan Downey’s speeches for Roosevelt’s reelection as well as statements by William J. McAddo who opposed Roosevelt seeking a third term.

Scarce campaign broadside for John Bell and Edward Everett, the candidates for the Constitutional Union party in the 1860 Presidential campaign. Lithograph is the scarcest of 19th century Currier and Ives broadsides, hand-colored by the storied print makers, and with full margins not usually found on this broadside. Strong unionists who believed that slavery was protected by the U.S. Constitution, the candidacy of Bell and Everett split the southern vote, effectively giving the election to Abraham Lincoln. Their campaign banner reads at top, ”Liberty and Union Now and Forever One and Inseparable / No North, No South, No East, No West, Nothing But the Union”. With Currier and Ives copyright in 1860 at bottom, which also reads, ”Grand National Union Banner for 1860 / The Candidates and Their Platform”. The candidates’ names of John Bell, of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts are also featured in the banner. Broadside is hand-colored by Currier and Ives, with unfaded rich, dark colors. Lithograph measures 13.5” x 18”, with original borders. Expert restoration including rice paper backing, though no restoration to the coloring except to a small spot of scuffing just below the tassels between the red velvet curtains. Some foxing to margins. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $12,600.

The Most Famous Newspaper Mistake of All Time — ”Dewey Defeats Truman”
”Chicago Daily Tribune” newspaper dated 3 November 1948 featuring 1.5” banner headline ”DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN”, the most famous newspaper faux-pas of the 20th century. This complete three-section newspaper is rare as most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune Co. realized its error. Only 2,000 were estimated to have reached private hands and many have disappeared since 1948. Runs 40pp. Very light toning. Tears along right edge and middle fold, else near fine. A rare and very desirable historical issue in very good condition. Sold for $1,758.
