Description
Political badge features a gilt bar across the top with a white paper label that reads "Chicago" and a pinback. A red, white, and blue silk American flag ribbon drapes from the bar and is stamped with "91" in gold ink. A round white ceramic medal features a black illustration of Abraham Lincoln and a metal frame and is suspended from the bottom of the ribbon. A paper maker's label is tucked inside the reverse of the medal and reads, "Souvenir Badges and Medallions for all occasions; C.S. Cole & Co., So. Clark Street, Chicago, Ill."
