Abraham Lincoln "Rail Splitter of the West" 1860 Political TokenObverse: HON. ABRAHAM LINCOLN above, 1860 below bust of Lincoln facing right, "ELLIS" on truncation of portrait.

Reverse: "THE RAIL SPLITTER OF THE WEST" above a depiction of Lincoln in the act of splitting a fence rail while another figure sits and watches. A log cabin appears in the background.

Medal is holed for suspension as made.

Sullivan-Dewitt: AL 1860-41

Brass, 28 mm

As noted by Jonathan H. Mann, publisher of The Rail Splitter - A Journal for the Lincoln Collector, "this token was part of a huge marketing campaign to shape Lincoln's image as the ideal American. "The "Rail Splitter" appellation refers to an early period in Lincoln's life when he toiled on the frontier, clearing the land, building a homestead. As a candidate for president in 1860, Lincoln campaigned as the 'Rail Splitter of the West,' a slogan and image that propelled him to the White House."
