LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Historical Society has been displaying and publicizing a pair of earrings as having belonged to Mary Todd Lincoln, but others aren't as sure about their authenticity.
The pair of apparently gold-mounted black onyx pendant earrings were purchased by the Historical Society in 2008 for more than $19,000 through Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported Sunday.
Historical Society Executive Director Kent Whitworth said that, in the society's best professional judgment, the earrings did once belong to Lincoln.
