Artifact Overview
Democrats selected Jimmy Carter as their presidential nominee in 1976 and 1980. Carter was a naval officer and successful peanut farmer before entering politics. His association with peanut farming figured prominently in campaign materials--both for and against him. This peanut mug also depicts a toothy smile--another signature representation of the candidate used in campaign items.

Torch Lake, built by Mason Machine Works in 1873, hauled ore for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company on Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The engine is an articulated design. The driving wheels pivot under the boiler, allowing the locomotive to handle sharp curves. Torch Lake joined The Henry Ford's collection in 1969.
