Authentic Human Hair Keepsake ("My little girl, Elinor's curls cut off at 3 years of age" note found with it). It may or may not be the same "Elinor" whose antique black lace neck piece I found (separate listing). If it's her, she was born in the 1920s. 

A quietly haunting piece of personal history. Ideal for collectors of Victorian hairwork, sentimental/mourning artifacts, antique ephemera, or curiosity cabinet items.

Authentic artifact – not a reproduction. Sold as historical curiosity.
