Scarce Presidential night parade campaign lantern made of paper. It has an incredible array of patriotic symbols and images on each panel. One is for President Benjamin Harrison, another is for his Vice-President Levi Morton from the 1888 Presidential campaign. One side Five separate panels of graphics. The paper lantern would have been attached to a wire frame which amazingly we still have and it is in one piece and will be included. When attached it 'inflates" to a more founded size thanks to the inside frame and displays all sides of the lantern. One frame includes the campaign slogan "Tippecanoe & Morton Too" and the headline "Protection! We Will support the Interests of America"
You can even see where the candle holder is attached to the wire frame at the bottom. Candles were placed inside and the lantern would be illuminated for the night parade. As you can imagine 99% of them most likely burned up Great piece of Presidential Americana. These lanterns are always fragile so we would recommend displaying it flat as shown in the pictures. However, if you choose to attach it to the metal framing please be extra careful since since after over 100 years these paper lanters. Original.
This paper novelty was produced for the 1888 presidential campaign of Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) and his running mate Levi Parsons Morton (1824-1920). Each panel has a different printed image, including portraits of Harrison; Morton; the United States Capital; “Harrison and Morton” superimposed on the United States flag; a log cabin with “Tippecanoe and Morton Too 1840-1888”; and an unidentified young girl.

Lori:
Thank you ever so much for the Presidential Inaugural Invitation. I was moved because it means so very much to me. I was in Washington D.C. last year during the inauguration, however, I had been hoping to eventually obtain something this special (I even wrote to my Congressman and others). Again, thank you so much and may you have continued success in your business in the coming years.

Lori,
The poster arrived late yesterday afternoon. It is hanging on my wall, and it looks absolutely fantastic! I smile when I see the President staring down at me as I am sitting at my desk.
Thanks so much! Well done!

I appreciate everything - the speedy response, the customer service, and of course, the product itself. Often, I'm skeptical and think that online testimonials only post the positive feedback, or even make up feedback. I can tell from the service I received that not only were these testimonials legitimate (just like your products), but it is likely they are all so positive because I can't imagine you getting a negative review.
Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you. This is how customer service is supposed to look and it is so refreshing! I'll certainly be back to purchase additional gifts for my history-buff boyfriend in the future.

Hi Lori & Team
I have purchased items from you over the years, since what I guess was your beginning days.
All items come perfect - they are what you say - I appreciate each purchase.
Is there a website where I can say “ Lori and her team are amazing as are the items I purchase”….or something similar. If so, I’m happy to do that !!
All my best,

Lori & Steve--
I want to say many, many thanks for the way you handled my Hoover item consignment. You listed it promptly, described it in a way that accurately explained its quality and value, and sold it quickly at a top price--far beyond my expectations.
I couldn't be happier and would recommend you highly to anyone who wants to consign items with Lori Ferber Collectibles.
Thanks again!
