This one was for his 1931 Senate run.


I had never seen a "Hackensack Harry" Harper election thimble before and now I've seen two within a week.

What do thimbles have to do with elections? I would think that someone who pitched in the World Series for the New York Yankees would come up with something better, like..............oh, I don't know.............an autographed rosin bag or something.
