Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

Thanks to Susan for posting the daguerreotype link. Following Laurie's lead I checked it out. Like Roger and Laurie I saw no resemblance to the Lincolns but wanting to learn I read both sides of the argument. As Laurie mentioned three Lincoln experts gave opinions and all three concluded the couple in the daguerreotype is not the Lincolns. These experts are Kim Bauer, Illinois State Historical Library, Daniel Weinberg and Tim Bakken of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop and Lloyd Ostendorf, author of five Lincoln books. Ostendorf also owned one of the largest private collections of Lincoln photographs. He published "Lincoln in Photographs," which at the time contained every known picture of Lincoln.

So I'll stick with the experts. Thanks to http://abeandmarydag.com/ for posting their letters.
