A small group of ephemera related to Social Security including: four (4) official business envelopes from the Social Security Board postmarked between 1937 and 1942; one (1) c.1942 government-issued pamphlet detailing the purpose of social security cards what to do if it gets lost; and one (1) later reproduction of the original photograph of Roosevelt signing the Act into law, produced in 1984 as promotional material by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security. The smallest item measures 4" by 5", and the largest measures 4" by 8.75". Note in particular the 1940s postmarks promoting war bonds, as well as the cartoon illustrations used for the pamphlet, which depict Uncle Sam and an arch-typical 1940s family man in a humorous artistic style. One of the envelopes is a return envelope mailed from an American resident who lived abroad in the U.K., and bears British stamps with King George VI. The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt in 1935.
