George Hilkemeier lived at 17 Suydam St. in Brooklyn, NY.
I think this man died in 1931, thus my estimate that this blotter dates to c. 1925. He was running for Alderman in the 53rd Aldermanic District, the 19th Assembly District.
NOTE: The scan images tend to be harsher than what is actually there. Paper discoloration and stains show as darker than in real life. White paper in some cases tends to show yellowed. Paper wrinkles tend to be exaggerated. If you have clarification questions, do not hesitate emailing me.
Excellent condition. Some very, very light age toning spots on the blank reverse.
