Very interesting and rare original Delegate badge credential from the 1844 Democratic National Convention that was held in Baltimore, Maryland, that nominated James Polk for President. It is a paper badge from the Massachusetts Delegation that appears to be a printers proof based on the double image. Few items exist from this early convention. It features a graphic of a native American with a bow and arrow in the center. This is the third, at last, one of these rare tickets we acquired. Original, of course. 

Historical Notes
One of the earliest democratic convention items we have come across in forty plus years
