Impressive, bright and bold ferrotype made of brass with a reeded edge. The portrait of a youthful and unbearded, Abraham Lincoln appears on one side and Hannibal Hamlin on the other side. This ferrotype was created for the Presidential Campaign of 1860 and is dated at the bottom of both sides. There is a small hole at the top as always, for suspension in wearing. Both images are in choice condition with excellent sharp contrast, with just a couple of trivial small nicks and flecks due to the mass production process and some spotting to Hamlin’s image.
