Abraham Lincoln Pin | 1938 Meeting Design | Art Deco Bas Relief

Reclaiming Lincoln: A Pin with a Story to Tell.

This isn't your typical portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The design of this bas relief pin is taken from a fixture at the 1938 convention of the Communist Party USA, who sought to claim Lincoln's legacy for their own. Today, we reappropriate this powerful image once again. It serves as a reminder that Lincoln's legacy—of emancipation, of a government "of the people, by the people, for the people"—is a radical one, and it belongs to all who continue to fight for those ideals, regardless of their place on the political spectrum. This 2-inch wide, gold-colored pin is a high-quality piece of wearable history, perfect for the lapel of any historian, political junkie, or collector of unique Americana.
