Reagan Ear Cast, 1895

Reagan Ear Cast, 1895

Not on display

Reagan's left ear cast with Reagan's name on the edge. Rutland reports that Ney was asked to visit Reagan in his office to cast his ear. In making the mold she was reported to have also caught some of his hair in the mold. When she pulled the cast from his skin it pulled the hair, resulting in him swearing in pain. Ney would later, as Rutland reports, place his bust in the Rogues Gallery because of this outburst.
