Wow! This is a wonderful present, but I'll re-gift that to someone who would treasure it more. I'm not a big "fan" of Mary Todd Lincoln's!

That must have been a very popular style of fan in the 1860s. I have my great-grandmother's fan of the same period, which is identical except for being originally a burgundy color. It may have been her wedding fan in November of 1860.
