This cardstock, advertising trade card is 3 3/8" x 5.25" and shows a butter sculpture of former president Theodore Roosevelt, who was on safari in Africa at the time of the 1910 Minnesota State Fair. He's in hunting garb and posing over a male lion he had bagged. He actually did a lot of his hunting for specimens to send back for display at Washington D.C.'s Smithsonian Institute. We remember seeing there the huge, stuffed elephant that he had shot fifty-some years before, when we were a kid.  The Milton Dairy Company of Saint Paul, Minnesota had this butter sculpture on display but, in their advertising blurb on back, they fail to mention the artist who rendered it.  Typical - artists get no respect.  This is in nice condition, but please enlarge our images to judge this for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase.  Remember, this stuff's called ephemera, folks, because it was made to be used and then thrown away.  So we're just happy to have items like this - in any condition - to add to our collections. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence. We'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases.  Shipping on this will be $4.50 first class with tracking.
