Description
Pin features Abraham Lincoln in profile and slightly above the center. Lincoln is featured in royal blue as well as the surrounding print. Above Lincoln, arching print reads "LINCOLN" and directly underneath the bust, horizontal print reads "Sesquicentennial". There is also arching print present at the bottom that reads "1809-1959". The back features a safety pin closure mechanism. Along the back ridge, print is present, but it is indecipherable due to the lower half of the letters being covered by the metal back. It may denote information about the manufacturing of the pin. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
