    I have an 1860 rare Wide Awake Club ribbon illustrating Lincoln. Am interested in selling it or donating it to the Lincoln Presidential Library.

    I recently got one in a yard sale. Silk ribbon with face and bust. He signed it below as “your truly ALincoln”. It is in fair condition. In a frame.
