<b>751. 1864 LINCOLN ELECTION BALLOT </b>A great war-date 1p. 3" x 7 7/8", Miami, Oh., presidential ballot supporting Lincoln's for president and Johnson as vice president in 1864. The ticket has a great patriotic motif depicting Columbia with a sword labeled "Union". In 1863, Ohio's state legislature established special voting procedures for soldiers in the field. A small "spindle cancel" hole in the center of the piece and a pencil notation indicates that it was actually used by 1st Lieut. Samuel Brandon of the 71th Ohio Volunteers. An attractive document with one slight crease in the lower margin and some slight staining, else very good.<b>$150-250</b>
