RARE vintage 1966 U. S. Senate & House of Representatives Capitol Switchboard

Description

This is an item of ephemera probably no longer in existence anywhere else, or at least very, very few remaining.    It is a 22" x 28" cardboard wall hanging of United States Capitol switchboard numbers for all of the Congressional offices, both Senate and House of Representatives, as well as miscellaneous offices and functions ranging from Capitol Police to pages and so on.     As my picture shows, there is some writing and it has some very minor damage at the edges but it is fair to say good or very good condition overall for something like this which was actually used in one of the Congressional offices.    Of course, there are all kinds of reasons why this is an interesting piece -- its uniqueness in terms of availability, the roster of Senators and Representatives in Washington at the time, the technology this reflects, etc.     More than 50 years old and not something that would even exist now.   Because of the rarity and value, shipping will be in a carefully wrapped package with cardboard on either side of the item to assure it arrives in pristine condition.   I've tried to make a reasonable estimate here in view of condition, rarity, interest, etc. and am open to serious offers.
