This was a personal gift to Harry M. Daugherty, Harding's campaign manager, upon winning the Presidency and one thing led to another and it was passed on to my family as a gift and now, many years later, I have it..
This photo, measures approximately 14"x18" and the frame I would guess at around 20"x24". I could get exact measurements if needed.
The frame is a wood beaded frame.
I am not looking to get rid of it, how many people have "the gift" any President gave his campaign manager upon winning the election? If it was Lincoln then I know I would have something but even so it is one of a kind and I feel fortunate to have what I have.
It is kept safe and in good surroundings as far as light, temperature and humidity is concerned.
Anyway, from history buffs and maybe other collectors, what do I have here?

Obviously it is worth something but is it something maybe I should tell my insurance agent about?
