"Lincoln" era chair

Description

This was my grandfather's chair and my father's chair too. It may even have been my great-grandfather's chair.  An Antique refinished told me it was from the "Lincoln" era, but I am looking for more information about it.  My grandfather lived in Vermont and then Brooklyn and probably acquired it around one of those places.  It is still very comfortable for a wood chair.
