This is a truly striking assortment of personal artifacts attributed to some of the most famous names in history, from hair follicles from the likes of Charles Lindbergh, Zachary Taylor and Charles Dickens and even more exotic items like a fishing lure fragment, chair piece and even some Transylvania dirt. It all adds up to a unique lot providing an extraordinary linkage to some legendary figures from the noble to the ignoble, most permanently affixed to colorful 8-by-10 ½-inch cardboard displays and arriving with provenance attested to by hobby autograph experts John Reznikoff and Todd Mueller. Here’s the breakdown (7): 1) Strand of hair from aviator Charles Lindbergh, numbered 6/300 and including LOAs from both Reznikoff and Mueller; 2) Strand of hair from Charles Dickens, with photocopy of handwritten note providing provenance; 3) Strand of hair from President Zachary Taylor, with LOA from Mueller; 4) Fragment of fishing lure owned and used by Earnest Hemingway, numbered 6/300 and arriving with two-page photocopied provenance with color photo and COAs from Reznikoff and Mueller; 5) Dirt from Dracula’s Transylvania Castle, with COAs from Reznikoff and Mueller; 6) Fragment of a chair from Buffalo Bill Cody, with provenance from 1988 Butterfield Auction and an LOA from Mueller; and 7) Piece of a sword used in the epic film “The 10 Commandments,” the 1951 Academy Awards Best Picture winner, with COA from Star Wars Collectibles.
