Jugates are made up of two side-by-side portraits, usually of a presidential and a vice-presidential candidate. Jugates can be on campaign pins, posters, or other materials. The rare Lincoln Hamlin jugate now listed on eBay is from the 1860 presidential campaign. It's printed on a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" card published by Henry F. Granger & Co. of Boston, Massachusetts.
