Trying to identify this piece No Extension Of Slavery - Only one I have seen - No idea who prepared this and history behind it. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

it appears to be a "Cinderella" of Lincolcn printed after his Cooper Union speech in early 1860. Prior to becoming a candidate Lincoln travelled to NYC to gauge support for a presidential run. The speech is considered by many historians to be one of his greatest efforts, widely printed and dispersed at the time, and launching his successful bid (on what the 36 ballot or so) for the Republican nomination, thank you Judge Davis. I thought I had a copy of it in my library but can't find it. I think the last two letters on your issue are NY not RY. Cheers mark |

Post Script Lincoln argued in this great work for no extension of slavery into the territories. All this is from my memory. Edit: Where did you find this? Great piece of Americana loaded with history. Cheers, mark |

The Lincoln no extension of slavery label is listed Larry's Lyons' Identified for Carriers, Locals, Fakes, Forgeries and Bogus Posts of the United States. It is listed as a circa 1860 propaganda label. It should read "Rickey Mallory" under the bottom border. |

Mark I remembered where I got this. It came in a small shoe box of us locals on approval cards (about 100 approval cards 800 or 900 us locals mostly forgeries but interesting group) I bought from a dealer in the 1970's. |

Lincoln is incredibly collectible so I imagine Revcollector you are correct, not just stamps, but political epherma etc.. I knew this is early before he grew "whiskers" which was sometime about January 1861 prior to his inauguration in March of that year. Easy to remember as the Civil War starts in 1861. I am glad it has survived the vagaries of time, and you have posted it Stampdman. I really enjoyed viewing it and have spent a couple of hours now rereading about how that turbulent time. Thank you Regards, mark |
