It looks neat, but it's not really something I'd buy. I figured somebody around here might be interested.

This was popular in the early 60's. You took a copper sheet and traced an image on it. Then you pushed the metal into the shape you wanted and then antiqued it and rubbed off the upper devices and made the image look like this. But this one is a nice one. Very detailed. Sorry I don't have the one I made. I don't even remember what it was I made. But they were neat in their day.

I remember those "copper toolings".

They also used some stinky stuff (maybe sulphur?) in a jar that toned it as you rubbed it on.

I'm more the coin fan rather than a 'Anything Lincoln' fan. The only plaques I would be interested in would be the original Brenner plaques.
