Fascinating Great Depression item from the 1932 Crusade to Washington - "The American Unemployed". More famously known as the Bonus Army—it was a massive protest by 20,000 to 45,000 World War I veterans and their families who marched on Washington, D.C.. Desperate for relief during the Depression, they demanded the immediate cash payment for wartime service.
Without detailing the sad consequences, Hoover, McArthur, Patton, Eisenhower were all very aware of the planned government violent response.

To international buyers: if you ship to a US address, shipping for most items is free - unfortunately I can only use eBay international Shipping outside the US. With all the new customs, tariffs, taxes, it is not possible for me to ship any longer at simple First Class Letter. Also, items have begun taking 2 to 4 months to reach their destination, and sometimes they are simply disappearing. eBay International provides tracking and insurance so that we both are covered all the way through. Perhaps shopping for a few additional items will make it more worthwhile for buyers, as shipping cost will remain unchanged. A multiple item purchase too can receive a discount. Thanks
