Ribbon/ politcal/ jewelry

Date: 
1884
Medium:

Grover Cleveland and Thomas Hendricks were elected President and Vice President in 1884, Cleveland's first presidency, but Hendricks lived only nine months after the election and was never replaced, making this ribbon a rare representation of a very brief regime and the only era in U.S. history that there was no Vice President (over three years between 1885-1888).
