This is a complete, original chapter meeting or officer’s kit from the Pennsylvania Council of Republican Women (PCRW), which later became the Pennsylvania Federation of Republican Women (PFRW).Finding a complete archive like this—retaining everything from the official meeting tools to the original paper ephemera—is incredibly rare. It offers an authentic, nostalgic look into the grassroots organization of women in Pennsylvania politics.This comprehensive historical lot includes:Miniature Desktop Flag Set: Features a vibrant United States flag and a Pennsylvania State flag, both finished with classic gold fringe and mounted on a dual-spear desktop display stand.Official Wooden Gavel: A beautifully turned wooden gavel, the essential tool for the chapter president to call meetings to order.Original Rubber Stamp: A vintage wood-mounted rubber stamp featuring a charming, stylized cartoon Republican elephant character, complete with a tiny hat.Embossed Gold Foil Seals: A stack of original, unused gold foil organizational seals bearing the PCRW emblem and elephant motif, preserved in their original glassine paper wrapper."Council Pledge" Cards: Multiple pristine membership/pledge cards detailing the organizational oath to promote honest government, political knowledge, and unselfish patriotism.Meeting Ephemera & Place Cards: A stack of blank meeting place cards in their original protective cardboard sleeve.Presentation Accessories: Includes the original deep-blue felt table mat with pinked edges and the vintage cardboard storage box that has kept this collection together for decades.


Condition Report:This lot is in very good vintage condition overall. The flags retain excellent color with minimal fading. The wooden gavel and rubber stamp show wonderful character and light signs of operational use. The paper ephemera and gold foil seals are remarkably crisp, with only minor age-related toning to the protective packaging (including some light rust staining on the glassine envelope from a vintage paperclip). Please review the high-resolution photos for a detailed view of the exact items you will receive.
