The May 22nd Chicago Daily Herald reports that a gold and silver Tiffany pitcher, a gift to Lincoln on his first inauguration is expected to go for between $300,000 and $400,000 in Cincinnati June 6th.
It is considered to be authentic and has been on loan to the Smithsonian for the last 40 years. The Great Seal of the United States is on one side and the inscription "To the President of the United States Abraham Lincoln from hid Washington friends March 4, 1861."
I know some friends in the SCV who would really like to have this.
