Rare invitation and admittance pass to attend a mourning ceremony for the recently assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. The ceremony was held in Salem, Mass. on June 1, 1865. The invitation measures 5" x 7 7/8", and the pass measures 2 12" x 4". These types of ceremonies were held throughout the country in churches and meeting halls to mourn the fallen Chief Magistrate. Rarely do these invitations and passes appear on the market. Both pieces are in fine condition save for some light toning. A rare piece of Lincolniana.
