Description: Here's a stereo view card put out in 1876 by the I.L. Rogers Company with a photo by W.B. Miles out of Springfield, Massachusetts showing the republican party's victorious presidential candidates from that year. But if you notice, this was released with an error of printing or photography. The caption notes "Hayes and Wheeler" yet the image has the VP candidate, William Wheeler at left with Rutherford Hayes on the right. So much for quality control. We wonder how many of these were circulated before someone noticed the problem and issued a correct version. We say this was the closest election yet since it was only resolved after a long, convoluted process starting out in the U.S. House of Representatives over disputed vote counts coming in late. It was way worse than 2000 since there were no chads. After an Electoral Commission voted along party lines in early March 1877 to give the disputed electoral votes to Hayes and Wheeler, democrat Samuel Jones Tilden lost in the Electoral College by a single vote. Hayes was even sworn in early since many thought the March 4 Inauguration could become violent. This is in nice condition but please enlarge our images to judge condition for yourself so you can be happy with it. Remember, this stuff's called ephemera, folks, since it was made to be used and then discarded. So we're just lucky to have things like this in any condition to add to our collections. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence. We'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases. Shipping on this will be $4.50 first class with tracking. 5004
