Lock of Mary Pickford's hair.

Someone loan me $2,000 - $3,000, please.
From Debbie Reynold's auction...
"Lock of Mary Pickford's blonde hair measuring approximately 3 in. long and housed in a custom sealed wooden display box with glass-covered window. Mounted inside the lid is a color print of Pickfair. In 1928, in the wake of her mother's death, Pickford cuts her famous curls in front of journalists. Her hair was a symbol of female virtue and the story created a sensation, making the front page of The New York Times and other newspapers. Includes a length of blond curls from Pickford's wig. Box measures 8 ¾ in. x 6 ¾ in. x 2 ½ in. Provenance: Estate of Mary Pickford."
