RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
The item was a gold stud (for securing a collar?) with diamond chips forming a "B" - The first initial of the former owners last name - Brown. John Brown. It was presented to Lincoln who gave the stud to Horace Greeley, a politician from Vermont who went on to become an official in Wisconsin. Here's a picture of it.
