Civil War Auction Honors Lincoln's Birthday-- Part 1

From the February 1, 2022, Chicago Tribune "Civil War display honors Black History Month, Lincoln's birthday" by Tatyana Turner.

Chicagoans have a chance to see the original 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery) and other Civil War-era artifacts at Heritage Auctions Chicago, 222 W. Hubbard Street.

In honor of this being Black History Month and Abraham Lincoln's birthday, Heritage Auctions, a multinational auction house, will have some of the rarest artifacts of that era on display before they head to Heritage's Dallas headquarters for bidding at auction.

The Chicago preview will include vaulted lots of 350 vaulted lots from the Lincoln era.

Those who want to take a chance at owning a copy of the original 13th Amendment or other collectibles such as letters written by Abraham Lincoln and an engraved pocket knife he once owned will have the opportunity to do so.
