Description
Circular pin features Abraham Lincoln in center on a white ground. Lincoln is illustrated in royal blue. A royal blue frame with white print encloses Lincoln and reads "Vote the Republican Ticket". "Vote the" arches above Lincoln's head and "Republican Ticket" appears below. White five point stars separate these two phrases. On the bottom edge appears a white emblem or insignia that may identify the pin's manufacturer, date, and location of its creation. The print is in a small font and is indecipherable. The back features an attached metal needle used for pinning. There is also an ovular emblem or insignia etched into the back. In its center, there is an unidentifiable representation, but above etched print reads "Union" and below etched print reads "Label".
