    This is on folded 17" X 11" heavy paper. There is a small tear on the bottom edge of the face, dead center, an' some smudging, etc...otherwise it's in reasonable condition. I have no idea where or when it was acquired.
    My question is whether this is rare enough to have more than incidental value. There are damn few folks left who voted in the 1936 election, so probably mainly to historical collectors.
    I've done no research, as I just re-discovered it. Thanks for lookin'!

    I think you had to be 21 to vote then, so I doubt any are still around who voted in that election. If they were they'd be 115 years old or more. This would have been his second term.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    There is at least one currently listed on eBay. They only show the front of it, though.

    There are some for other candidates, but not many are so ambitious in asking price.
