The fob watch locket of Titanic First Class Passenger Isidor Straus is to be on exclusive display at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, TN. Valued at $250,000, this amazing artifact will be presented to the museum by its owner's great great grandson. It will be the first time on public display since it was last worn in 1912. Privately held, one of Titanic’s most important and emotionally charged artifacts ever recovered is the watch fob locket belonging to famed New York merchandizer and co-owner of Macy’s Department Store, Isidor Straus. The locket was found tucked in the marketing mogul’s vest pocket when he was pulled, lifeless, from the sea. It has remained in the possession of Straus family descendants ever since, never to be seen by the public until now. The Titanic Museum’s curator, Paul Burns, was told of the locket’s existence more than 20 years ago by Joan Adler, executive director of the Straus Historical Society. He has worked tirelessly since then to bring it out of obscurity and into the view of thousands of Titanic Museum followers. Don't miss this rare chance.
