A large 17" tall HEAVY coffee urn, most probably American made, likely silver plated. On the front it reads "Swedish Americans For Eisenhower 1952". Most probably used at a campaign event in support of Dwight Eisenhower for President held by immigrants or descendants from Sweden. It must weigh 15lbs. - 20 lbs. There are several areas where the silver plate as worn. All lettering is still readable. The term "unique" certainly fits this piece.
