Abraham Lincoln's Stovepipe Hat, Etc.

[RJNorton]

Many thanks to Joe Beckert for sending this photo of Lincoln's hat. Joe was at Hildene last July, and he took the photo there. Joe writes, "The docent said RTL gave it to a friend in nearby Dorset, Vt., whose family returned it when Hildene was turned into a historic site in the 80's. On an earlier visit, I was told Lincoln owned 7 stovepipe hats and only 3 are accounted for (with one being suspect)."
