VTG. Dwight D Eisenhower The President's Birthday Party Memorabilia 1953

Description

What a unique estate sale find from 1953 commemorating Dwight D. Eisenhower's birthday party sponsored by the Republican Finance Committee of Pennsylvania.  As you can see there is a letter talking about the traffic and requesting people to use the "Reading Railroad" to the festivities because of traffic.  It's amazing that it would cost only 60 cents.
There is a ticket that admits one person.  On the back is written the people who attended the party.  Susanna Catherine & Kelly Glancy.  They were able to save a napkin from the party as well and kept all pieces together.
I find it interesting that along with this stuff (not included in this sale) was some early Social Justice and Communist memorabilia from the late 1930's as well.  The items depict their political journey from Communist's to Republicans.
As you can see there is dark yellowing and age to the items, but still clearly legible.  The napkin has a big hole in it.
There are 4 pieces total in this lot.
I will do my best to describe any flaws, but I am not an expert and may not catch everything.
Please remember they are used and not new and may show normal signs of wear.
Please take a look at the pictures closely (zoom) for the best idea of what condition the item is in.
Please ask any questions about condition or shipping before purchase.
