Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, hair clipping represents one of the most meticulously documented specimens in existence. This authenticated lock carries exceptional historical significance, tracing its provenance through verified ownership records and expert authentication. The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity establishes its legitimacy, making it a cornerstone piece for serious Lincoln scholars and American history collectors. The rarity of well-documented Lincoln hair, combined with its direct connection to one of America's most influential leaders, positions this artifact as a remarkable addition to any collection focused on presidential memorabilia or 19th-century American history.
Collecting hair, known as "hair work," was a common Victorian practice for mementos, especially after a person's death. Over time, different locks have been passed down through families, sold at auction, or donated to institutions. Always look for authenticity and documentation proving such when purchasing hair work.
