2x3.75". Union bug at bottom. Two tiny pin holes at top that are trivial and mentioned only for extreme accuracy. Otherwise light scattered wear. Extremely Fine. This sticker is a reference to an October 29, 1940 incident in which Willkie made a campaign stop in Huntington City, WV. During his visit, a young man threw an egg at Willkie. The boy was arrested and charged w/disorderly conduct. Perhaps the egg-throwing incident just days before the election was a bad omen for Willkie, as he was defeated by FDR handily, including Willkie's defeat in Cabell County, the county in which Huntington City is located.
