\"George<\/p>\n

George Washington<\/strong>‘s got a price on his head … because a lock of his famous hair is on the open market.<\/p>\n

The first president of the United States had a lock of his white hair preserved for centuries … and now it’s up for sale for $45,000.<\/p>\n

Washington’s hair lock is tied up in an oval shape and bound by a glass case, which is wrapped in pearls. There’s also an engraving with his initials ‘GW’ on the back of the case.<\/p>\n

The lock was given to the Derby family back in the day, as the Derbys were close with both George and his wife, Martha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Washington’s hair remained in the Derby family for several generations … it was handed down from son to son and now it’s hitting the open market through Moments In Time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Presidential<\/p>\n

A letter dated Aug. 15, 1873, is also included with Washington’s hair … it’s correspondence between the Derbys and another collector, talking about the locks.<\/p>\n

Remember … GW supposedly didn’t wear a wig, unlike many of his contemporaries, and actually powdered his own hairdo.<\/p>\n

Pretty cool … and the buyer’s gonna need a lot of dead presidents to take this piece of history home.<\/p>\n
