RE: Show us your Lincoln collectables!
As you are aware, Lincoln was much loved by masses of people. In fact, that between viewing while lying in state, the funerals themselves, and those that lined the train route day and night, it is estimated that over 1.5 million people participated. A few towns that I know of held funerals for Abraham Lincoln that were much the same as his "real" funerals - a procession down main street, a casket, and formal services. The only difference is that Abe Lincoln was not present and the mock funerals.
