Description

An important historical 1860 Lincoln and Hamlin Ferrotype Campaign Medal. This brass medal contains a wonderful front and back ferrotype photographic image of each man nicely preserved under mica. This political medal is similar in manufacture to encased postage stamps. Here, both ferrotypes are under mica like a stamp is in encased postage. Lincoln is bright and vibrant. Hamlin is dark but he is visible in the image. Both ferrotypes are nicely preserved and the I-phone pictures on our website do not represent the political medal well at all. About 22 mm (or the size of a US nickel) these medals come with a hole but here there is an old string attached which gives some insight as to how this could have been pinned or tied to vintage clothing.
