According to the “Cajun Pawn Stars” (Mon., 9 p.m. EST on History) there are collectors out there who pay big bucks for hair from famous historical figures. Jimmie DeRamus said he has hair from people including Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and both President and Mrs. Kennedy.
Imagine his excitement, then, when he was approached by a man with “the most documented” framed lock of hair taken from President Abraham Lincoln after he was shot.
The paperwork certified its gruesome history as “ten strands of hair from the lock that was removed to access the fatal wound,” and was signed by Charles Taft, one of the attending surgeons.
A large lock of hair from Lincoln had previously been appraised at a whopping $500,000, so if authentic, this could be worth a fortune.
