RE: Lincoln's Opera Glasses
I agree with Gloria Swift. Chances are very slim these were in the President's possession. If they were picked up on 10th St, they really could have belonged to any one of the 1700 people in the theatre. The provenance is every bit as good as the provenance for the spur which came off Booth's boot on the stage, which is at the Naval Academy Museum, except the spur dates to about 1880.
