I'm not sure if this is just a contact mark or if Lincolns right knee has doubling?

Sandra, it is hard to tell from the picture. Is the area you refer to curved? If so, then it is likely a hit., but if not, then it could be doubling, although there would also be some accompaning doubling elsewhere.

The knee on the right (our right) is wide but what's going on with the left "legs" he seems to have 2 left legs and an extra foot on left unless the pic is making it look that way. Wink

It look like an extra right leg which would make it a doubled die, however, I am unsure what the extra block is next to column 6.

Hi guys the leg I'm referring to is the one on my left as I sit looking at it (but actually his right Wink ). I hadn't even noticed the "extra block" that BJ is referring to.

In my opinion - it may very well be a doubled knee/leg on Lincoln's right. As heavy as that is, I would have expected at least some of the same thing on the other leg -- but it is not unheard of to have a single knee doubled. This is one I think an attributor would have to see to know for sure.

I think the extra block that BJ referred to is the base of the pedistal to the left of Linoln's right foot. In this lighting, it happens to look the same size and shape as a foot - but I think it is just the pedistal of the chair.

The reason for just one leg maybe the tilted hub theory. It may also be that some of the first impression was obliterated by the second impression.

Sandra, can you shoot that one again, with better focus? That might claear up some questions.
