This lot features easily one of the most historic original and very much antique pieces of political memorabilia one could ask for! A full program from the 1916 Democratic National Convention held in St Louis, Missouri. At a full half-inch thick, it contains a wealth of fascinating photographs of the city itself, historic advertisements, and photographs, references, and profiles of key members of the Democratic Party well over 100 years ago. A veritable book in and of itself and a comprehensive source of documentation of the Democratic Party circa 1916.

The dimensions of this incredible book are 9 and 1/2 in wide by 12 and 1/4 inches high and 1/2 in thick.

       I have added several extra pages to this listing, featuring some historical background information and photos of this fascinating event and its significance in American political history.

I ship using USPS Priority Mail & Ground Advantage with a tracking number for buyer protection and for the automatic insurance of $100 provided with this service. I make no profit from shipping.  (Regrettably, postal rates have again recently increased for Priority Mail shipping rates, which are now as follows:

   *Medium Flat Rate Box: $17.05

       *Large Flat Rate Box: $22.45

         *Flat Rate Envelope: $9.90

     However, this is still arguably your best tracked and insured value). Thank you very much for visiting my ad and looking and good luck to all bidders!
