Sebastian Miniatures~Abraham Lincoln~42/250~Masonic~Painted~Freemasons
This listing consists of a painted Sebastian Miniature statue of President Abraham Lincoln made in 1997 for the benefit of John Hancock Lodge, AF & AM of Methuen, Massachusetts.
The statue is a copy of an artist's model in the Lodge's possession that was used to make the monument to Abraham Lincoln that once stood in Park Square, Boston, Massachusetts.  The design was changed to exclude the Pedestal on the finished monument.

This statue was found, long forgotten, in a storage closet in the Lodge building.
It is #42 of 250 cast.
The statue stands 4" high from the bottom of the base to the top of the head.  On the front of the base is "Lincoln" and on the back is "John Hancock Lodge AF & AM".
It comes in a plain box and has a nice card with it, explaining the history of the statue.
In case you didn't know, Lincoln was not a Freemason, just a great President.

These photos, postcards and slides are sold without any restrictions by me as to their right to publication. If you buy them then you have the right to publish them if you so desire and no one owns the copyright. These photos and slides come from acquired collections without restrictions to me. Please also note, the "methuen-web-sales" wording ghosted onto the photo or slide is done in the scanning process and is not on the original. That someone thinks otherwise is unusual, but I have been asked, hence this statement.
Company History
Back to Top
WLHG-Company is an offshoot of Modeler's Junction, a hobby shop that we ran for 18 years. Modeler's Junction closed on August 31, 2007. My wife and I decided that there was a need for an online selling and buying service. While running the hobby shop, many times I sold items on consignment for customers and also purchased items for customers. They were pleased at the results and a company was born! We expect to maintain that level of customer service into the future. We sell on eBay as: methuen-web-sales
