Sales gimmick proves popular
CHICAGO (CNN) -- Abraham Lincoln may have died 135 years ago. But you can still find him -- or at least a replicated part of him -- at a pen store in Chicago. It sells limited edition Lincoln pens, each with a bit of powdered, reproduced DNA from the assassinated president's hair embedded in its amethyst crystal cap.
Creepy? Maybe. Popular? Definitely. Of the more than 1,000 pens made, only 100 are left, despite a price tag of $1,600.
