Grover Cleveland Presidential Reception Ribbon from Madison, Wisconsin. This handsome purple and gold ribbon measures 2.5" wide and 9" long including the tassels. The text on the body of the ribbon reads: "Presidential Reception - Committee of One Hundred - Madison, Wis. 1887. - Executive". Cleveland visited Madison on October 7, 1887 to visit Col. William F. Vilas, Cleveland's Secretary of the Interior. This ribbon was worn by the committee who welcomed him to the city. It is certainly a ribbon that was not produced in large quantities, and therefore quite unique! The ribbon is in very fine condition; the tassels have become somewhat tarnished.

Howard Standard Brand "Blackberry Jelly" Crock with Lid. This early Heinz crock bears the Howard Standard version of their label. Measuring 6.25" tall with a colorful and bright label featuring a cornucopia of fruit and geometric designs. The label is in very fine condition with only a very slight amount of tearing and chipping on the upper edge. The crock itself has no cracks or chips; just some minor soiling on the lid. The metal handle is fully intact.
Four-Sided Heinz Keystone Label Jar. This 11.5" tall jar features the classic "keystone" label and the 1885 registration mark. The jar once held "Onions", and has a label on the neck of the jar that is also intact. The glass has some mild sickness and soiling, but no cracks. The label itself is missing its upper left corner and is moderately soiled overall. The upper label has torn at 9 o'clock, and has other small tears. Overall an excellent display piece.
Political

1892 Mrs. Harrison Celluloid with Ribbon. This handsome little ribbon has a celluloid portrait attached to it, the portrait is of Benjamin Harrison's wife, Caroline Harrison. The ribbon itself is red, white, and blue with some slight fraying on the top half. The portrait is in excellent condition with no soiling at all. The ribbon measures 2" x 3.25".
Henry Clay and William H. Harrison Medal in Silver. Listed as Sullivan-Dewitt HC 1844-11, measuring 37mm. One side of this medal features a portrait of Henry Clay with the slogan "Henry Clay - The Farmer of Ashland." The other side depicts a portrait of William Henry Harrison and the slogan "Honor Where Honor's Due - To The Hero of Tippecanoe." This example appears to have been struck a bit offcenter as the right edge of the medal is in much deeper relief than the left. Displays with several edge nicks and some soiling on both sides. The name Thomas appears on the truncation of the Clay bust.
1948 Henry Wallace 2 1/4" Pinback Button. This button features a cartoon-like picture of Wallace with a silhouette of Roosevelt and the words "Wallace For President." In near mint condition aside from some rusting on the verso.

Grover Cleveland Silk Woven Campaign Ribbon. Measures 4 1/4" and does not contain the facsimile signature sometimes seen on ribbons of this type. There is some slight fraying especially on the top. Otherwise the colors are bold and the image is crisp. A great example.
1892 Harrison-Reid Jugate Silk Campaign Ribbon. Attractive, woven red, white and blue with portraits of both candidates. Also has an eagle and several American flags also in color. Moderate overall "aging," and some fraying on the lower edge, still quite decent.
1868 Ulysses S. Grant Single Portrait Campaign Stickpin. Measuring 22mm, this cardboard photo is set into a fancy brass shell with a stars and stripes design. In excellent condition with some scratches and soiling on the portrait.
1896 Scarce Bryan-Sewall "Free Silver" Jugate Pinback Button. Measures 1 1/4" and features portraits of both Bryan and Sewall. The button also boasts the "Free Silver" slogan which Bryan used as his platform for this election. In excellent condition aside from some slight yellowing and foxing at 9 o'clock. There is some celluloid separation visible on the reverse. The original backpaper and pin are still intact.
1864 Andrew Johnson "Who Shall Be Vice-President?" Broadside. This campaign broadside outlined the political views of George H. Pendleton of Ohio and Andrew Johnson of Tennessee. It reads in part: "Who shall be Vice-President? Shall he be a loyal or a disloyal man? Past experience shows that the choice of Vice-President of the United States is almost as important as that of President. In case the latter dies or becomes unable to perform the duties of his office, they devolve upon the former. In 1840 General Harrison was elected President and John Tyler Vice-President. Within two months after the Inauguration General Harrison died and John Tyler became President of the United States, and completely reversed the policy he had been choosen to carry out..."
The broadside is in fine condition; usual folds are present; moderate separation occuring along main horizontal fold and main vertical fold; minor edge wear; light overall toning but still fully legible and crisp. A nice display item for the 1864 election, a collector favorite.

The second is to show the world the kind of a man or person the republican party, which claims for and to itself all the virtue, honesty, religion, intelligence, and patriotism of the land, chooses for a leader, and bows in worship before." In fine condition; first page has become disbound; minor edge wear; bumped corners; light overall toning of early pages; back cover exhibits mild foxing.

1872 Republican Glee Club Badge. This purple and gold badge is from the Republican Glee Club of Columbus Ohio.

It features an article entitled: "Tilden's Triumph - The Candidate of Reform Unquestionably Elected - All Quiet Throughout the Land". The Presidential election of 1876 is one of the most disputed in history; Tilden had handily defeated Rutherford B. Hayes in the popular votes, however, a portion of the electoral votes were in dispute. Many believe a compromise was struck and in return for the South's acquiescence, the North would remove its troops, thus ending Reconstruction. Hayes was put into office, making this newspaper a wonderful novelty. In choice condition; slightly brittle and yellowed as machine-pulp newspapers usually are but very sturdy and clean.

The cane is in choice condition; light tarnishing but has a wonderful, pleasing patina. The wood portion shows a handsome aged tone and has one small crack in the base. The metal top is slightly loose, otherwise, it is perfect for display.
William Jennings Bryan 1 ¼" Pinback Portrait Button. This red, white, and blue pinback button features Bryan's portrait inside a safe, with the words "Commoner" above his head and "Guarantee of Bank Deposits" below.

"...when I shall see you again the Lord knoweth, being engaged here to paint Mr. Pica and old Mrs. Chew. I live here like an Alderman of Cripplegate. I feed the mind a little also, there being several good books here which tempt me, but my head is seldom so well stuffed as my belly, and I fear is emptied sooner without secreting and congesting much pabulum for the brain. Your brain is, I suppose, so busy'd about cases and pleas, and declarations and affirmations and rejoinders, that you have no time to think of my secretions &c. Well, be it so. Is Frank Key in Easton now? I heard he was to be at the general court...You or your uncle are suspected of writing that line about Lord Cockadoodledoo &c.

Below is the receipt: "Rec'd. July 15, 1775. of Saml. Wallis the above Contents in full -William Savery". William Savery was one of the major Philadelphia cabinetmakers of the Colonial period, which means that he was one of the greatest American practitioners of that art. Savery's importance was not recognized until relatively modern times, and little information exists about his life; some of what there is indicates that he was a Quaker, and here he gives the date as "Seventh Month", in the Quaker fashion.
