Miscellaneous Cards
TWO AUTO PEN
CARDS FROM FORMER PRIME MINISTER JOHN MAJOR
Item 2058 - These two cards are from former Prime
Minister John Major. The man who ended up at 10 Downing St. had
humble beginnings on Britain’s skid row. He quit school at
16 and worked in various manual jobs. Major finally landed a stable
job at Standard Chartered Bank in 1965 and rose rapidly to be
the top aide to the chairman. He entered politics in 1968, winning
a local election in London. In 1979, the same year that Margaret
Thatcher came to power, Major won a Conservative seat in Parliament.
When Thatcher’s own Conservative Party toppled her in 1990,
Major was waiting in the wings. At 47, he became Britain’s
youngest prime minister this century. The Rt. Hon John Major is
still in parliament. He was re-elected in his safe Huntingdon
constituency near Cambridge. During her reign Queen Elizabeth
II has had 9 Prime Ministers and has seen 12 US presidents elected
into office. The first card has a picture of the front of "10
Downing Street". The second has a picture of The Green Room
in "10 Downing Street". Neither card is dated.
