A rare 1900 William McKinley "Prosperity" re-election campaign poster is offered at Hake's Americana.
The piece is valued at $10,000-20,000 in an impressively stocked sale that closes on November 15.
 William McKinley won the popular vote in the 1900 election |
McKinley's first term was marked by a skyrocketing economy - a point he labours heavily in this poster.
He achieved a strong victory in 1900, but his tenure was cut short by his assassination in 1901.
The auction house explains: "This impressive poster is the recognized leader of golden age political campaign lithography and is easily the most highly sought after display item produced for McKinley's 1900 re-election campaign�Ǫ
"Of the few known examples, the vast majority have noticeable condition issues.
"The present example represents a rare opportunity to obtain an investment grade campaign artifact that would rank as a center piece even in the most advanced collections."
Another of these posters in a similar condition sold for $17,925 at Heritage Auctions in 2010.
A 1912 Debs / Seidel campaign badge is expected to make $5,000-10,000.
