Object Details

When considering the options for campaign giveaways, cigar accessories—like this cigar cutter handed out by Albert Baumhart Jr. for one of his campaigns for Congress—had appeal in the smoke-filled 20th century. Around this time, practical promotional materials, like matches and sewing thimbles, were part of many candidates’ arsenals.
