An authentic, 1952 presidential campaign novelty mailer folding fan supporting Dwight D. Eisenhower. This clever piece of promotional political ephemera was manufactured by the famous Dennison Manufacturing Company.
The item functions as a literal pun on the phrase I'm an Ike Fan. The front of the shipping tag features a whimsical maroon illustration of the iconic GOP Republican Elephant mascot blowing a trumpet banner marked GOP, alongside the bold vertical typography reading I'm An Ike Fan. The tag securely holds a beautifully hand-assembled miniature folding fan. The fan features fine split-bamboo structural ribs holding a black fabric or heavy paper body decorated with beautiful hand-painted purple wisteria blossoms and green leavesThe upper spine of the fan still cleanly retains its original purple stamp reading Made in Japan.
The back of the mailing tag is fully formatted like a postcard with dedicated spaces for From and To addresses.
Very good vintage condition. Light disarray to fan. Light creasing in tag. Please review photos carefully.
Guaranteed old and original.
