ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT
<b>203. (ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENTIAL 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 "<i>Union</i>". In 1863, Ohio's state legislature established special voting procedures for soldiers in the field. A small spindle cancel hole is present in the center of the piece and a pencil notation indicates that it was actually used by an Ohio soldier. Truly an attractive document with one slight crease in the upper margin and some minor paper loss in lower left corner, else very good.<b>$150-250</b>
