Dr. Mudd item on 'Pawn Stars'

[Hess1865]

A lady walked in the shop and presented a lap desk that was made by Dr. Mudd while he was imprisoned at Fort Jefferson. It was in good shape. She explained that she purchased it for $2,500 from someone whose family member had been a guard at the fort, and Mudd had made the desk for him. She presented provenance for the desk, including the name and picture of the guard, and statements from the family concerning the background of the item.

She then went on to say that they could buy the item from her for only $100,000!!!!

Rick Harrison went on to explain to the lady the rarity of owning something directly linked to one of the Lincoln Conspiritors, but he also added that he wasn't about to spend that kind of money for it.

The lady left, and outside the store she stated that she might pursue several other avenues of sale.

Maybe she should talk to someone on this board???
