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....

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.
