Lot Description
[POLITICS]. John Bell and Edward Everett back-to-back campaign ferrotype badge. 1860.
23 mm dual-ferrotype in cloth-covered brass medallion (ferrotypes with some craquelure and darkening). Obverse features ferrotype of Bell with his name written in negative above. His vice-presidential candidate's ferrotype portrait is on the reverse with his name, "Edward Everett" printed in negative above. Tice lists a similar John Bell item, though single-sided, stating "I am unsure if this is a pin-back campaign item, or a button." One example (Tice PC262) is with a metal border, and a variation (PC2262Am) is blank with a tinned iron back. This is possibly another variation of the campaign souvenir.
Estate of Carroll J. Delery III, Formerly the “Historical Shop”
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
