a collection of abraham lincoln memorabilia that includes a lock of the 1 president's hair has been sold for more than $800,000 at 2 saturday in dallas.
美国前总统亚伯拉罕·林肯的一批遗物于1月24日在美国达拉斯拍卖,并以超过80万美元(约合人民币500万元)的价格成交。遗物包括林肯遇刺后剪下的一缕头发。
the donald p. dow collection brought top bids totaling $803,889, doubling expectations, said eric bradley, spokesman for dallas-based heritage 3.
greg dow said his father, who died five years ago, was fascinated with presidential 5.
the lock of hair, taken by surgeon general joseph k. barnes shortly after lincoln was shot by john wilkes booth, sold for $25,000.
an 1861 letter written by booth to a friend boasting about his career and value as an actor sold for $30,000.
"the public was so disgusted by booth's 6 that most all letters, signatures and documents mentioning him were destroyed after lincoln's death, making any that survive 150 years later exceedingly rare and valuable," said don ackerman, 7 director for historical americana at heritage auctions. "the dow collection gave us a unique perspective of the 4 and i doubt we'll ever see a grouping like this outside of a museum setting."

-- a clipping of 9 from lincoln's death bed and stained with lincoln's blood, for $6,000.
