Here's some info on Ms. Brown: Virginia Stuart Brown was the great-granddaughter of John Todd Stuart, Springfield pioneer, and Abraham Lincoln’s first law partner. She was the last resident custodian of the Lincoln Home to live in the home on a full-time basis. Virginia Brown’s retirement in 1953 ended more than seventy years during which Lincoln Home custodians lived in the home itself. The change meant the entire home, not just the first floor, could be opened to tourists. Not only was Virginia the last custodian to live in the home, but she was also the last to display a collection of personal Lincoln memorabilia there.

Shipping We will try and combine shipping on multiple purchases wherever possible. Please e-mail us with auction item numbers before sending payment.

We will only ship Internationally by Priority Mail, and that starts at $30.00.

Postage rates are non-negotiable and non-refundable. We pack every item professionally using new packing materials and appropriate mailing supplies. We send all items via US Postal Service.The U.S.Postal service rates change fairly regularly every year and we don't make money on postage like some other ebay sellers. I think you'll find that we're quite fair. Thank-you! Terms of Sale I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a bid. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
