Does anyone recognize this Lincoln Bust?

coinsarefun

I know its only a Masonic token but this bust is quite well done and very high relief. This one
looks so familiar but can't place it. Maybe from a Political or CWT.?
In** token catalog.com **there are a number from Lincoln Park but the other Lincoln die is attributed
to F.C. KURTZE and is different. Any help would be appreciated.

No idea, but I would check Ken Bauer's website: https://cwtoken.com/

I'm still looking for the die sinker for my avatar but no luck yet:

Let me check my Elder catalogue. Looks like something C. H. Hanson of Chicago might have done.

NM looks like you already said it.

I like the high relief.

Very nice piece... and really high relief... Looks as if the hair is actually the high points on the bust...Cheers, RickO

Look at DeLorey-17 through 46 (King-349 to 377 or so, and Smith-13 to 44 or so), and especially DeLorey-55 (King-847) and 56 (King-435). 56 was for a Lincoln Park Chapter Masonic token, though it may or may not be connected to Elder. Then see DeLorey-19 (King-350) again. See if the portraits match. I do not have my original glossy pictures handy.

Thank you so very much. When I get home today from work I’ll check it all out.
I do appreciate your help.

Well Capt. It appears you were spot one! Thanks again so much. I don't have any home reference
books on Elder. I searched online and found a gentleman that belongs to another coin forum
called coin people.com. I overlaid mine over his example and they look like the same.
There might be a slight difference but I think it from the strike on copper and white metal.
Thanks again as its always more special when we know how, when and where these come from.
