Three items of historical significance related to Abraham Lincoln. First, a wood relic from Lincoln’s law office. A small fragment of wood sourced from the law office in the Tinsley Building, Springfield, Illinois. Accompanied by a professionally printed display card and a Certificate of Authenticity from History in Your Hands, which verifies the relic from the 1983 renovation. The certificate is signed, sealed and registered. Second is a certified piece of brick from the Wills House in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Lincoln stayed the night before delivering the Gettysburg Address in 1863. This relic is sealed in a tamper proof display case by Coins of America, complete with a printed historical marker plaque on the reverse. Lastly, an original Springfield, Illinois city directory printed just a few years before Lincoln’s presidency. Binding and cover show wear consistent with its age, but it remains intact and legible. See photos for additional details. Dimensions: 2.5 x 4.75 x .75 in Weight of Lot: .6 lbsShelf: 24B
