ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAIR DISPLAY
A fine Lincoln relic, about a dozen strands of hair contained within a small magnifying case and matted along with a reproduction image of the President. An identifying note mounted beneath hair reads, in part: '...Several strands of Abraham Lincoln's hair, given by the President to Mrs. Caroline Wright, wife of Governor Joseph A. Wright of Indiana, as a token of their friendship. This hair relic remained in the family until offered for sale by Christie's in 1992. Ex: Forbes Collection 2002'. Along with a COA from Cary Delery and the original Christie's listing from this famous auction. Fine condition.
