Controversial Chicago Mayor RICHARD M. DALEY

Description: Richard M. Daley (1942 - ) Controversial American politician who served as the 54th mayor of Chicago, Illinois, from 1989 to 2011; reelected five times until eventually declining to run for a seventh term. At twenty-two years, his was the longest tenure in Chicago mayoral history, surpassing the twenty-one-year mayoralty of his father, Richard J. Daley. His mayoralty was marked by scandals involving allegations of favoritism in contracting, charges of police brutality, and for turning initial budget surpluses into the largest deficits in Chicago history, leaving the city nearly insolvent at the end of his tenure. For sale is a vintage 8 x 10 b&w photograph of Richard M. Daley as Mayor during the early years of his tenure, inscribed and signed in silver marker-pen. Excellent condition. $70.00 + 3.50 first class reinforced shipping US ONLY PROVENANCE NOTES: This autographed item is from my personal collection which I started accumulating in the 1970s. All of these were purchased from reputable sources such as East Coast Book Auctions, Harris Auction Galleries, Remember When Antiquities, Richard J. Cohen, and Donald Dean of Discovery Gide. I also had a running advertisement throughout the 1980s in PCM (Paper Collectors’ Marketplace) through which I obtained a number of these. None came via Ebay or any online source. Note also that almost all of these were obtained before “COAs” became popular, so no such ‘certificate’ accompanied these items when I purchased them. I do, however, include my own personal money-back guarantee ensuring your complete satisfaction.
