Significant lock of Jackson’s hair, measuring approximately 2.5″ long, affixed with a period green wax seal to a 6 x 3.25 personal notecard of Forest H. Sweet bearing a contemporaneously handwritten provenance note, in full: “Hair of General Andrew Jackson, a portion of lot 96 of the Personal Relics of President Andrew Jackson consigned and guaranteed genuine by Andrew Jackson the Fourth.” Archivally mounted and framed with a large artistic print of Jackson to an overall size of 21 x 29. In fine condition. Research indicates that this lock of hair was part of a lot auctioned at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on April 13–14, 1927. Locks of presidential hair are rare and highly sought by collectors of history and Americana, with this particular example complemented by ironclad familial provenance—direct from the great-grandson of Andrew Jackson.
