<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7612574, member: 101855&quot;]As Sullivan writes in his book, when a presidential candidate runs for more than one time, it is sometimes hard to attribute a piece to an exact campaign. This piece has been assigned to 1836, which was a year in which few campaign pieces were issued. It may have been issued in 1840. Only those who were alive at the time could know for sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the easier candidates to attribute is Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln did not grow a beard until he was elected president. He was clean shaven through out the 1860 election cycle. One rare piece that was issued after he was elected shows him with a beard; the others do not. Therefore if he does not have a beard, it&#039;s an 1860 piece. If he has one, it&#039;s 1864. </p><p><br /></p><p>From 1860</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1310449[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From 1864</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1310450[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
