This is an original and authentic ferrotype from the 1864 campaign of Abraham Lincoln for President and Andrew Johnson for Vice President. The 1864 bearded Lincoln second term ferroytpes are scarcer than the 1860 versions, and the coveted Gault ornate frame adds to its collectibility and value. The front of the button has a photo of presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln with a classic Gault brass frame. Original.
