Imagine the history that would have been made at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1940, during a campaign rally for Presidential challenger Wendell Willkie! This lot features a fantastic, entirely original ticket to exactly that event, held at Madison Square Garden, as Willkie attempted to take back the White House from then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This wonderful campaign piece features a photo of Willkie and is in remarkably clean condition for its age . It measures 5 3/4 inches long x 2  1/2 inches wide.

       I have added several extra pages to this listing, featuring some historical background information and photos relating to this historic campaign and Willkie himself.

      Taking a cue from the worlds of entertainment and sports, this fantastic piece is many times more visible and attractive than an average campaign button could ever be, and perfectly framable.
