Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Eagle Pin

Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Eagle Pin
For his second inauguration, President Abraham Lincoln wore a wool overcoat that was specially designed for him. The coat had a one of a kind hand stitched design of an eagle on the inner lining with the inscription "One Country, One Destiny." It was the same coat that Lincoln was wearing on the evening of April 14, 1865 when he was assassinated during a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre. Commissioned in honor of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth on February 12 2009, The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Pin is inspired by the design from Lincoln's coat. A bald eagle clutches a ribbon inscribed with the phrase that Lincoln carried with him as a reminder of his patriotic vision. The original coat is part of the Ford's Theatre Museum collection. 100 of the proceeds from the sale of this pin benefits The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Campaign for historic Ford's Theatre. Measures 2x2 1/2"
