[Brass axe pendant worn by supporters of anti-alcohol activist Carry Nation, with later postcard of her home]

by [Nation, Carry A.]

n.p.: n.p., n.d.. Postcard. 1.25 inch brass axe pendant, the emblem of Carry Nation's crusade to abolish the evils of liquor (she would bust up saloons and crack open barrels to spill the wicked brew, in actions that she called "hatchetations"). Supporters of her organization in the early 20th century could purchase these to show their support. A leftover stash was still for sale at the historic Carry Nation home when Jocelyn Cohen of the Helaine Victoria Press visited many years ago in an effort to find old photographs to use for her postcard series, and she bought the remainder, which we in turn have purchased from her. Also included is a period-style postcard tinted in colors of the historic home, as well as a large Helaine Victoria Press postcard on the Whiskey Crusade that includes mention of Nation's campaign. Date of the hatchet unknown; a New York Times report from August 19, 1901 mentions her selling them but presumably there would have been different versions over the course of her career.

She mentions things like: Negroes as slaves, superstitions, Kentucky, Missouri, spiritualism, whisky, husbands, jail, prohibition, mothers, Washington D.C., assault, liquor, Oklahoma, Texas, Masonry, poetry.

Very Good- condition. Dark Blue cloth covers over boards. Design impression on front, Gold gilt lettering on front and spine. Gilt on spine is faded. Some rubbing mostly to edges, corners, and Spine. Front and back have a couple lightly soiled spots, but overall look nice. End papers are a green floral & check design. The front end papers have a wrinkle at the top, a small stain at the bottom, and a white sticker that someone tried to pull off and I believe it took a bit of the design with it. The text is clean and there are some black & white illustrations. The binding is good, but not tight. Page 147/148 sticks out a tiny bit from the rest of the closed book pages.
