Antique Questions Forum / George Washington's Hair

Thank you.  I have a little more information that might help?

The leather case is embossed Lincoln & Foss (Boston) and CP McKnight is also engraved (Washington's personal physician) on the case. On the front of the case is engraved: General G. Washington's hair, 1799.

I have a lock of George Washington's hair, fashioned into a mourning ring in the original case, dated 1799. How would I get this authenticated or who would I contact?

Thanks,
Reba
