The Library of Congress holds one collection with an odd assortment of items that one might evaluate as junk. A button. A pocket knife. A handkerchief. A few newspaper clippings. But the pocket knife is made of silver and ivory, the button bears the initial “L”, and the handkerchief is embroidered with “A. Lincoln”.
