Description
Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln & Hamlin Campaign Flag.13" x 8.25" glazed cotton flag with 31 stars in the canton, inscribed on the stripes: "For President, Abram Lincoln. For Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin." The colors are very bright on this example. It apparently saw use during the campaign and was attached to a stick. Outside of a few teensy holes, it is in excellent condition. It is currently attached to a piece of academy board with white thread, imperceptibly so. This is not one of the examples discovered in a quilt sold by Richard Withington in New Hampshire some decades ago. This one was actually carried in a parade by a Wide Awake marcher or Lincoln supporter.
