Abraham Lincoln handwritten and signed check, dated 25 August 1860, and made out to ''Barbara Dunkel'' in the amount of $14.57. Check, drawn on the Springfield Marine & Fire Insurance Company, is signed in pencil, ''A. Lincoln''. In May 1860, Lincoln became the Republican candidate for President and would campaign throughout 1860 until his success at the polls in November. Minor soiling to 7.75'' x 2.75'' check, else very good condition. A fine tribute to Honest Abe who assumes the honesty of others by signing this check in pencil.
