1876 PRESIDENTIAL COAT-TAIL STREAMERS.
1876 PRESIDENTIAL COAT-TAIL STREAMERS. Three red, white and blue ribbons, each measuring 2 x 14", attached at one end with a cord. Each of the streamers has the name of a candidate stenciled in black, "Hayes," "Wheeler," "Garfield." This item dates to the presidential election of 1876 in which Garfield was a candidate for re-election to Congress. Outside of some ballots, this is the only pre-presidential Garfield political item we have seen! Wear to the ink and fraying to the letters on the Garfield and Wheeler streamers, some fading of red ribbon, some toning to all. A very unusual format, and a showpiece for a political collection.
