Historical Context:
The 1956 Republican National Convention, held at San Francisco's Cow Palace from August 20–23, 1956, formally renominated President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon for a second term. The Eisenhower-Nixon ticket would go on to win a decisive victory in the November election, defeating Democratic nominees Adlai Stevenson II and Estes Kefauver.

At the time this ticket was issued, Richard Nixon was serving his first term as Vice President of the United States. Already recognized as one of the Republican Party's rising leaders, Nixon's prominent role at the convention helped solidify his national political standing. Four years later, he became the Republican nominee for president in the 1960 election, and in 1968 he was elected the 37th President of the United States, serving until his resignation in 1974. Signed convention tickets from Nixon's vice-presidential years are scarce and offer collectors a tangible connection to one of the defining moments of mid-twentieth-century American politics.
