Dog tag and Lincoln Ballot collection


Recommended Posts

I am not ready to tell this yet, but I thought I would post the picture of this collection.

 

Dog tag, picture, GAR medal, Masonic paperwork, engraved plate (maybe for business cards) and a soldiers "ticket" from New Hampshire. All names items have he name, Edwin s Burnham.

I am still researching the name and the ballot. Any info that anyone has would help.

Thanks, while I am selling off my fathers collection, I am having more and more fun researching the items.

Yes, it's so nice to have a great group of people that will help ID items. Once I figure out the value I will end up placing this up for sale. But it might end up being an auction item.
