1844 HENRY CLAY ILLUSTRATED PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN BALLOT FROM CONNECTICUT
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:2956216 |
This very rare, Presidential Campaign ballot measures approx. 4 3/4" by 6" and reads at the top “Whig Ticket”. Below this title, there is a large illustration of a Jack Tar Sailor climbing to the top of a flagpole. The American Flag flies from that flagpole and text on the Flag reads “Henry Clay and Theodore... Frelinghuysen”. Text below this lists the Clay / Frelinghuysen Whig Electors for President and Vice President from Connecticut (no other candidates for State or Local offices are listed).
This rare and original, 1844 Presidential Campaign Ballot is in good to very good condition. The sheet is significantly wrinkled and there are a handful of tiny holes in the sheet. There is a brown iron gall ink notation on the reverse that bleeds through to the front.
A very rare and original, 1844 Henry Clay / Theodore Frelinghuysen Presidential Election Ballot from the State of Connecticut and a fantastic addition to any Political Americana collection!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.ATTENTION FRIENDS!!!We are pleased to announce the start up of a second weekly auction by WALNUTTS-2.0!!!
