1906 Original photograph of the personal items and weapons used by John Wilkes Booth during his assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Taken when the items were on display about 1905-1910 (based on the thin early photo paper used), this is a fantastic piece of American history that is being offered here fresh out of a newspaper archive. Photo has a crease on the upper left but otherwise it presents really well.
