In colonial America, keeping locks of hair was a common form of remembrance, particularly for family members, but also for prominent figures such as George Washington and Anthony Wayne.

This gold locket, containing locks of hair from both men, was passed down through the Delaney family of Philadelphia and later into the Rag family, who donated it to the State Historical Society of Iowa in 1897.
