Still pretty cool. Wife and I went antiquing and I stumbled on this. It was described as a campaign handkerchief.
Amazing that it’s lasted this long. Neat piece of Americana. Figured I’d share.

That's nice!
Looks to be in great shape.
Just this once..... unless you've got more.
Wicked cool
Wrap a coin in it and see how it tones.

That's great! I love the jugate images from the political campaigns of that time!

I don’t own these, I just took pictures of them because I like them.

A very neat item!
I like it. Years ago I opened up an old book that belonged to my grandfather and there was a campaign ribbon from the 1876 presidential election in it. It was probably used as a bookmark. Not in good condition but a nice keepsake. You never know what you might find.
I have never seen a campaign handkerchief before.... and that is in amazing condition. Cheers, RickO
That handkerchief is nothing to sneeze at!
