My third great grandfather had this among his letters.
This is an original Peoples Ticket flyer from the 1876 municipal election.
Note the Deseret script around the margins.
It was my feeling that this was an exceedingly rare piece of historic ephemera, especially since it was printed on what felt like tissue paper.
I donated the image to Wikipedia for use in articles such as the on in the link below.

During my research on this item, I spoke with the LDS library and they informed me that indeed my item was not in their collection of election flyers and that they would like very much to add it.
Needless to say, I did part with it and it now resides, in perpetuity, at the LDS archives.
