All That Glitters
A ring of gold, containing a lock Admiral Lord Nelson's hair was sold at auction for £25,000 in Dorchester, Dorset, England ....
.... while the brass buckles off his shoes went for £5,000. First time I read that, I thought it said 'Brass knuckles' and I was willing to bid. 😇 I was disappointed when I realised what it really said, but it shows how history can grab you anytime.
