Description
Light pink political ribbon. All text and central image stamped in black. "Abraham Lincoln" and a bust of Lincoln comprises the top half of the ribbon. The lower half of the ribbon is all text that reads, "Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin. Sandwich Lincoln Club." There is a small floral design between "Hannibal Hamlin" and "Sandwich."
