For Sale - A Lock of Lincoln's Hair?!? - BettyO - 12-27-2012 07:12 AM Found this online - Supposedly a lock of Lincoln's hair for sale..... http://www.newburyportnews.com/local/x1524999919/For-sale-A-link-to-Lincoln-through-lock-of-hair RE: For Sale - A Lock of Lincoln's Hair?!? - LincolnMan - 12-27-2012 08:48 AM Sounds legit. What do you think? RE: For Sale - A Lock of Lincoln's Hair?!? - J. Beckert - 12-27-2012 09:19 AM I can't see it. RE: For Sale - A Lock of Lincoln's Hair?!? - BettyO - 12-27-2012 09:33 AM The hair (which doesn't show!) is supposedly inside the locket.... You would think that they would open the locket to show the hair. Before I would say that the hair was Lincoln's and I purchased it, I'd definitely want a provenance (possibly a DNA test if possible!) You know this ain't cheap.... RE: For Sale - A Lock of Lincoln's Hair?!? - Laurie Verge - 12-27-2012 10:10 AM At just 3/8-inch, that is one tiny locket! There can't be much hair inside, IMO. I would certainly want more of a hint as to the original provenance before I plunked down $10-$15,000.
