<b>761. LINCOLN BALLOT </b>A great war-date, 1p. 3 1/2" x 7 7/8", Miami, Oh., presidential ballot supporting Lincoln's for President and Johnson as Vice President in 1864. The banner of the ticket has a great patriotic motif depicting Columbia with a sword labeled "<i>Union</i>". Two small "spindle cancel" holes present in the center, indicating that it was possibly used by an Ohio soldier since a bill had been passed by that state's legislature in 1863 establishing specific voting procedures for soldier's in the field. Slight creases and some light soiling, else very good.<b> $150-250</b>
