Description: PRESERVING HISTORY, MARY TODD LINCOLN ABRAHAM LINCOLN WIFE PERSONALLY OWNED COMB NOT SIGNED, FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD, THE JOHN LATTIMER PERSONAL COLLECTION. PUBLISHED IN MORPHY'S HISTORICAL AUTION BOOK, WHICH IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE AUCTION.This coiffure or hair-setting comb comes from the Dr. John K. Lattimer collection, where it was among his renowned collection of Lincoln memorabilia. His display card, with this piece, refers to “ COMBS FOR HER COIFFURE,” indicating this was likely with the two dark brown and tan combs sold in the November 2008 sale of some of his Lincoln material. Those combs were noted as listed in the Kunhardt inventory and likely descended through Mary Edwards Brown, great-niece of Mary Todd Lincoln. This comb is in the form of a walking bird, 3 x 6", bone, with brown detailing, missing just two or three teeth. After his death, Dr. Lattimer’s collections were in some disarray, with pieces purchased or displayed together, and their supporting documentation, sometimes separated. Many of these are only now surfacing. CONDITION: Good.Item Dimensions: 8" X 6" X 2"
