1864 LINCOLN ELECTION BALLOT
<b>872. 1864 LINCOLN ELECTION BALLOT </b>A great war-date, 1p. 3 1/4" 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 "Union". A small spindle cancel hole is present in the center of the piece 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. Truly an attractive document with one slight crease in the upper left hand corner and some light soiling, else very good.<b> $150-250</b>
