(LINCOLN ELECTION BALLOT)
"A great war-date, multicolor, 1p. 4 1/2"" x 8 1/2"", Montgomery, Oh., presidential ballot supporting Lincoln's for president and Johnson as vice president in 1864. The banner of the ticket has a great patriotic/military motif depicting an eagle over crossed flags and carries the motto: ""The Union:-It must and shall be Preserved"". Two flags and another eagle grace the borders of the document and surround a long list of electors. A small ""spindle cancel"" hole is present in the center of the piece indicating that it was actually used in the election and was possibly used by a 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. Truly an attractive document printed in blue and red with one slight crease in the upper left hand corner, else very good." 2511 A great war-date, multicolor, 1p. 4 1/2"" x 8 1/2"", Montgomery, Oh., presidential ballot supporting Lincoln's for president and Johnson as vice president in 1864.
