Hakes Auction: HISTORIC & RARE LINCOLN 1863 EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION BADGE EX-JOHN FORD COLLECTION

Hake's Americana is auctioning off this rare and beautiful Lincoln 1863 Emancipation Proclamation badge.  Hit $3000 bid on Tuesday with 6 days left.  What a beauty.


 Description from the Auction:  The first time we offered this historic badge in Auction #185 it came to us via a 1999 Sotheby's auction of the collection of famed numismatist and 1877 pioneering cataloger of Lincoln items Andrew Zabriskie (1853-1916). This example has similar provenance originating from the F.C.C. Boyd estate, then the collection of Wayte Raymond, and then John J. Ford, Jr. The badge is 1-13/16" tall embossed silvered brass with the pin and clasp intact. Lincoln's profile portrait is within a circle embossed with the inscription "EMANCIPATION/JAN 1 1863." The finish is silvery gray with some darker coloration on the upper two thirds of Lincoln's portrait and surrounding background as well as the star point and rays above. The Zabriskie example we handled had similar toning all over the badge. The Stacks Bower catalog acknowledged the rarity and importance of this piece and referenced the Sotheby's sale of the Zabriskie example we offered in Auction #185 when it realized in excess of $3,500.00. Unlisted in DeWitt although listed as King-231. Only the second example known to us. Includes Ford's notated paper envelope and labeled plastic holder from Stacks Bowers auction Sept. 19-20, 2013. (L - $2000 to $5000)
