Abraham Lincoln Hannibal Hamlin 1860 Campaign Ferrotype brass raised Campaign Button. Made for the Presidential and Vice Presidential Campaign of 1860. Exquisite bare-faced Lincoln photo and Hannibal Hamlin. The front has a photo of the clean shaven Abraham Lincoln. Original.
This is one of the more desirable versions of these early buttons as the brass frame reads: Union of the States 1860 . and The Constitution and the Laws on the reverse. The name Abraham Lincoln is printed in a half moon above the portraits.
Unfortunately, the Hannibal Hamlin photo on the reverse is missing. For that reason this desirable item is listed at a signficantly reduced price. If you have always wanted one of these historic 150+ old buttons then this is your chance to acquire one at a very affordable price.
