One could always contact the Lincoln Museum. Lincoln might have prepared the application but not filed it.
The story is he filed it but it was denied.
I'm suspicious, but it doesn't seem completely out of the realm of possibility.
Lincoln did own a newspaper in Springfield, and he did actually own a patent on a completely unrelated topic.
This is all a secret conspiracy to get people to visit the Lincoln Museum.
Except that it mentions the response from the patent office that his application was denied.
The original article states that the author was physically presented this rejected patent application at the Lincoln museum.
