Brooch 1840-1880. Most of Mary Todd Lincoln’s clothes have not survived to present day. This pin was originally a button on one of her dresses that she gave to one of her nieces. Her niece saved one button, which she had made into this brooch. See other artifacts from the Lincoln household. Visit the National Park Service's Museum Collection "Mary Todd Lincoln and the Boys."
