Item Description
3x7". Similar to ZT-2 in the Sullivan/Fischer book but this variety features a campaign poem beneath the striking portrait of Taylor. Poem reads "Hurrah! For Our Country,/Hurrah! For Our State,/Hurrah! For Our Leader,/The Good And The Great!/The Man Who Can Boast,/That He Ne'er Lost A Field, And Who'll Stick To The Motto,/'He Never Will Yield!'/We'll 'Never Surrender,'/No Never! No Never!/But Our Watchward Still Be,/'Hurrah! For Zack Taylor!'" About 1.5" faint square stain at top right. Several tiny pulls when backlit not visible when laid flat. When flat only visible pulls are a .5" vertical just right of the poem and a tiny 1/8" horizontal at the upper left neither of which affect the superb design. VF. The only other example of this particular design we could find was in notably lesser condition than the one we presently offer. A rare opportunity to obtain a stunning Taylor ribbon.
