Item Description
Each is c. 1956 1-3/8" litho reading "Sophie Tucker For President." Tucker was immensely popular during the first two thirds of the 20th century as a singer and actress famous for her comical and risque songs. She was widely known as "The Last Of The Red Hot Mamas." A performer obviously inspired by her was shown in an Atlantic City nightclub as part of the prohibition era themed TV series "Broadway Empire" starring Steve Buscemi. Tiny edge wear but exceptionally nice NM examples.
