Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

[Eva Elisabeth]

My humble guess - an error in filing or poor handwriting in Tiffany's records.

According to the Library of Congress, "Tiffany records indicate that President Abraham Lincoln purchased the items on April 28, 1862 in Manhattan. 'The pearl necklace sold for $180 and the two bracelets for $350...'"

However, according to the Lincoln Log Abraham Lincoln was evidently in DC, not Manhattan on April 28, 1862:

According to Catherine Clinton (who refers to forum member Donna McCreary), Abraham Lincoln bought,
on the way to Washington, for Mary a 530$ six-piece seed-pearl parure to reward her for her faith in him. Maybe Donna knows more.

Here's a nice site on the items but not shedding light on the date issue:
