Below you will find the original New York Times article (dated 30 April 1906) that helped set this story into motion.

Re: Lincoln's Watch

What's really cool is that on the bar that crosses over the main cog is the inscription "Jeff Davis". Above that is the date "Sept 1864" and a name. I can't make out the name other than "L.E"?. Can anybody?
