Item Description
This outstanding rarity is a variation of Hake #3005 with 2004 Revised Prices value of $4375. That design has their names in a panel placed over their suit coats. There is also a non-beaded (plain) rim variety shown as Hake #3006 with $4000 guide value. That variety has their names below their suit coats as on this item, so this is actually a third variety unlisted in Hake but listed as DeWitt/Sullivan JCB1860-38. This photographic uniface jugate ferrotype design, with stickpin reverse, was made for the first time ever in 1860 for each of the four tickets. In our experience Breckinridge and Lane is the rarest of all four. While this example is missing the reverse stickpin, that has occurred on the majority of the known specimens for all four candidates. A replacement could easily be soldered into the groove on the brass reverse which includes text "Steele/Johnson/Waterbury/1860." The emulsion on this specimen is all but perfect. The images are perfectly centered and the emulsion surface is fully glossy. The only defect is a 1/32" bubble at extreme top right of Lane's hair. Bubble has microscopic crack, but no missing emulsion. About 99% of the emulsion surface is as perfect as it gets. This is the only example of this exact variety known to us. Rare and with exception of the typically missing pin, NM.
