BOSTON – It's almost Presidents Day, and now there's a chance to own a quirky piece of White House history.
Locks of George and Martha Washington's hair, Andrew Johnson's order of a national day of mourning after Abraham Lincoln's assassination and the pen that Warren Harding used to end U.S.
involvement in World War I are among a trove of nearly 300 presidential artifacts hitting the auction block. Boston-based RR Auction said online bidding gets underway Thursday and runs through Feb.
18. Other items being auctioned include John F. Kennedy's crimson Harvard sweater and a photograph of Lincoln and his son, Tad, signed by the 16th president.
