(BLACK MEMORABILIA.)

Stump Speaker. Cast-iron piggy bank, 10x4x4 inches, most of the original paint remaining, exposed iron portions browned from age; with an articulated arm and jaw; appears to be inoperative. Np, circa 188-1900 Depicts a well-dressed Black man with a stove-pipe hat, a carpet-bag at his side, standing on a platform which bears the words "Stump Speaker." It appears to be a jibe at the remaining Black members of the House of Representatives "stumping" for re-election. The Black Reconstruction representatives were effectively removed by the Democrats in the last decade of the 19th century.
