A small brass campaign badge carrying Abraham Lincoln's portrait and the words "For President," the kind worn on coats during the 1860 contest. Lincoln's supporters, the Republicans, gave out buttons like this in large numbers, and the portrait-and-slogan format let voters show their candidate's name well before the election in November. Pieces of this sort are a useful reminder that presidential politics in the 1860s was already a mass, street-level affair, with personal symbols carried by ordinary citizens.
