MvR's Hair on Ebay--again

Reportedly, MvR sent a female relative (cousin?) a locket with a snip of his hair inside. The snip of hair was eventually divided up into super-small pieces. Every once in awhile, these snippets pop up for sale. Another piece of MvR's hair with the locket is up on eBay. Questions of the whereabouts of the locket have risen before. Any comments?

A friend of mine obtained a piece of red fabric from the Charles Donald collection about twenty years ago, very nice piece. I'm not so sure about this one, seeing as the Rittmeister's name isn't even spelled correctly on the plaque.
