Description

Pin features Abraham Lincoln in the center. Lincoln is depicted in three quarters view in black on a white ground. Print arches above and below Lincoln in black. The print arching above Lincoln reads "1st Annual Banquet Lincoln Republican Club" and below print reads "City of Asbury Park". The back features a bent metal needle used for pinning. This needle is tucked into the rim of the pin. Also, there is cloth present with red, white, and blue colors. It appears as though it was originally attached to the pin but at some point was cut or ripped off. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
