I’m a big fan of the TV reality show “Oddities” and THIS is the kinda item that I know they would geek out over! A recent auction sold a rare lock of President Abraham Lincoln’s hair attached to a telegraph that appears to have blood smears on it! It sold for a whopping $81,000! The hair has real historic value because it dates back to 1865 when Lincoln was tragically assassinated. As you’ll see in this video from AP News, the hair was given to the President’s brother-in law, who wrapped it in a telegraph he had in his pocket. Imagine having that in a very secure shadow box in your man cave?! Incredible!!
