    Haven't they made billions of mini replicas of that portrait?:D

    The bronze is 7 x 9-3/8. 8-1/2 x 10-3/4 overall.

    Dang, wish I were home now instead of on vacation. 40 years ago my brother was tilling his garden and unearthed a “plaque” of Lincoln, perhaps six inches high by four wide. Maybe white metal or pewter, but from being buried for who knows how many decades this is only a guess.

    He gave it to me to try to figure out from whence it came, but I never got around to it. Thanks @Idhair for starting this thread: when I get back in April I’ll post it and perhaps you or someone else on CT will have some input.

    I would be happy to help you figure it out. There is a great amount of information out there on the topic.

    JeffC Go explore something and think a happy thought!

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if the first few of these plaques that were produced had "VDB" on it somewhere, but was then removed? Hahaha.

    I almost grabbed that one when it came up, but I had just paid my parade dues and am kind of tight on disposable income at the moment. I’m assuming that you bought this off of the bay a couple weeks ago. I’ve wanted one for a few years now, what an interesting piece.

    It was a BIN for a while and did not sell. It was listed later in a regular auction.

    Yeah. That one would look great on the wall of my doghouse after my wife kicks me out of the big house when she saw the price.
