Description
Today, we will start featuring a collection of political Americana purchased from an old-time collector. Pieces were chosen for a combination of scarcity and condition, with an emphasis on the latter. Most of the collection was comprised of celluloid pinback buttons, but there are some GREAT earlier pre-1896 pieces, as well. Some standard abbreviations used include: cello = celluloid pinback button, litho = lithograph pinback button, ferro = ferrotype. All items’ sizes are denoted, as well as condition. We can not stress how rare it is for us to buy to a high-quality collection of this scope and magnitude. This specific item is a SPECTACULAR 1860 LINCOLN 1 3/4″ PHOTO UNDER GLASS, BRASS COLLET-BAKELITE BOX/LID. BEFORE YOU “BUY IT NOW” PLEASE READ OUR FULL TRANSPARENCY DISCLAIMER: ALTHOUGH ALL COMPONENTS OF THIS PIECE ARE “PERIOD”, WE ARE NOT 100% CERTAIN THEY WERE ACTUALLY ASSEMBLED IN 1860. BASED ON OUR 40+ YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE HOBBY, THE CONDITION IS JUST TOO “MINTY” FOR OUR COMFORT ZONE, HENCE WE ARE SELLING IT AS-IS, AND WITHOUT A $25K+ PRICE TAG… AFOREMENTIONED ASIDE, THIS IS STILL AN AMAZING 1860-PERIOD PIECE AND WOULD BE A CENTERPIECE IN VIRTUALLY ANY LINCOLN COLLECTION! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
