Approx. 2 1/2 in. diameter white lace cockade with black star at center, featuring a pair of 3/4 x 1 in. albumen photographs housed in gem-sized brass mats, including a portrait of Lincoln and an image of his Springfield home. 2 white lace ribbon streamers extend below. Length with streamers approx. 5 3/4 in. Mounted to what appears to be a silk/satin sheet and sealed in a vintage frame. We have not encountered a mourning corkage featuring Lincoln's Springfield home.

Accompanied by 2 letters, dated 10 February and 20 March 1931, from Eva Haynes of Kansas City, MO, to William H. Townsend of Lexington, KY, depicting the cockade and revealing that it belonged to her father, Horace O. Haynes, who served in the 62nd Illinois Infantry Regiment and attended Lincoln's funeral, at which he wore the cockade.

Horace O. Haynes (spelled Harris O. Haines in HDS) enlisted as a private on 22 October 1864 and was mustered into Company I, 62nd Illinois Infantry Regiment, the following day. One of Eva's letters mentions that even though her father wanted to, he did not volunteer "on account of his wife and small children." He was drafted, however, six months before the war ended.
