CINCINNATI — A gold and silver Tiffany pitcher that dates to Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration in 1861 is to be auctioned next month and could fetch as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The pitcher, presumably a gift to Lincoln, is the featured item to be auctioned in Cincinnati on June 6. It is expected to go for $300,000 to $400,000. But, experts have no comparison on which to base their estimate.
The pitcher has been on loan to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., for four decades.
