A piece of suffrage memorabilia has sold for tens of thousands of dollars at auction, showing again that the market for posters and banners is rising in price. The price of suffrage memorabilia varies, depending on the condition of the items, how many were made, and whether any prominent figures signed them.
The suffrage movement was a 20th century political cause dedicated to helping white women have the right to vote. The first suffragists were the Women's Social and Political Union, and collectibles from this WSPU era are worth more money at auction. Signatures of WSPU founder Emmeline Pankhurst add the greatest value to collectors' items.
