Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. James Michael Curley (1874 \u0096 1958) was an American Democratic politician from Boston, Massachusetts. He served four terms as mayor of Boston from 1914 to 1955. Curley ran for mayor in every election for which he was legally qualified. He was twice convicted of criminal behavior and notably served time in prison during his last term as mayor. He also served a single term as governor of Massachusetts. He is remembered as one of the most colorful figures in Massachusetts politics. Late in his political career, running for a fourth term as mayor of Boston, Curley was indicted by federal prosecutors for mail fraud and bribery. It wasn\u0092t the first time. As a young alderman decades earlier, he had gone to prison for fraud. But that didn\u0092t keep him from being elected numerous times to numerous offices in the years that followed. Nor did his 1947 indictment stop voters from returning him to the mayor\u0092s office. When Curley was subsequently convicted and sentenced to 18 months in the federal penitentiary at Danbury, Conn., he refused to relinquish his office. For five months the incumbent mayor of Boston was locked in a prison 160 miles away, until President Harry S. Truman, under heavy pressure from the Massachusetts congressional delegation, agreed to commute his sentence. INSCRIBED BY CURLEY TO \"GOOD FRIEND WM. J. BRADY.\" RAREA1923AJKB - 10\/24 - HK2151 COLU1923KBJH - 07\/25 - HKREV1091. …
