Lincoln Hamlin Campaign Jugate Stick Pin

Description

The 1860 election saw an explosion of campaign novelties incorporating these small tintype portraits, but only a single style which featured both presidential and vice presidential candidates on the same side. All four designs are scarce, and are particularly important to collectors as they began a series of pinback jugate badges which were made for each presidential ticket thereafter. The Lincoln & Hamlin design is predictably a collector favorite. 

Featuring bust portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, with their names below. 

Very good, some minor pittings, somewhat dark, very 

(1860 Campaign). Lincoln Hamlin stick pin; Uniface Ferrotype Jugate. 1 7/8″ long, 7/8″ diameter, Sullivan AL 1860-116a.
