ABRAHAM LINCOLN & HAMILTON HAMLIN 1860 FERROTYPE CAMPAIGN BADGE
VERY RARE VERSION--ANTI SLAVERY VERSION!
Seldom do you have an opportunity to purchase an original 1860 campaign button for Abraham Lincoln but to purchase one which actually refers to SLAVERY is almost unheard of.   This original badge with glorious union eagle  holder has the slogan "Abram Lincoln/ Free Soil & Free Men" and on the reverse "Hannibal Hamlin/Free Speech".  The Lincoln portrait is in very good condition other than the normal ferrotype wear while the Hamlin side's photo is worn badly as is normal as these were worn for many years and even longer after the assassination in honor of this great man.  The photo actually looks much better in person.  For a ferrotype it is a very large size--almost 1" across on the badge part and with pin 2 1/4" tall.  You will never regret the investment in this beautiful and historic item.  This is only the second one I've ever seen!  $3250  Buy Now

 1860 FERROTYPE CAMPAIGN BADGE WITH DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN SLOGAN
Another Rare Lincoln-Hamlin ferrotype from 1860 but unfortunately not as in good condition for Abe.  Some of Abe's photo has flaked off but Hamlin is in very good condition with only minor flakes on edge. This one features their names above the photos for Lincoln and Hamlin.  Click on the photo for closer images.  These have holes in them to insert a small ribbon and hang on the lapel in 1860.  This is also a rare version
