1948 Classic & Original "Dewey Defeats Truman" Complete Newspaper

We've Found another! Original and complete  Dewey Defeats Truman newspaper. This famous edition of the Chicago Tribune of November 3, 1948 is the original, authentic and complete newspaper -including the iconic Dewey Defeats Truman headline.  This is arguably the most famous and sought after newspaper of all time. Absolutely original.

When the decision to print this paper was made, returns were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the deadline for the edition. The Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next President. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be the ultimate winner and be reelected as President. The already delivered "error" newspapers were gathered for return by staff members sent out to pick them up from newsstands and homes in the Chicago area. It also has the paragraph of type in the upside down position since the newspaper workers were obviously in a hurry to get the edition out to the newsstands.

Original editions of this newspaper, like this one, are becoming increasingly scarce. 

Here is a description of the condition: This is an original two star "Home edition" complete with all three separate sections. Quite often we see only the first section or just the front page, but this one is complete which is obviously a plus. We would rate it is overall is "Good+). The cover has toning running vertically below the center fold as well several small tears at the center fold which is not usual and often caused when newspapers are stored folded. There is also a missing piece at the right side edge which extends from the edge slightly into the text.  The balance of the first section and section two and three are in good condition with typical age toning and edge wear.
