The piece you are bidding on measures approximately 1.00" x .66". (Note: There is tape repair on the reverse side of this piece). We will start the bidding at a penny and let you eBayers decide the true value of this great piece of Lincolniana.

*A copy of the 1980-dated letter issued by the National Park Service / Dept. of Interior, stating that they examined the wallpaper layers and concluded they are authentic. We are including this for your provenance. See uploaded photo.
Provenance: We (the current sellers) purchased the Lincoln death room wallpaper lot directly from Heritage Auction Galleries (HA.com) in 2011. We sold some clips of this wallpaper several years ago; we are selling more to recoup some of our original investment.
