Abraham Lincoln Salomon also had a printed ticket from the Titanic's Turkish Baths which recorded the person's weight. It also has the names of three of the other first class passengers with him on Lifeboat No. 1. It is one of only four weigh-in chair tickets known to remain and is estimated to get between $7,500 and $10,000.
The third artiact to go at auction is a written note from Mabel Francatelli yo Salomon at New York's Plaza Hotel six months after the ship sank. She had climbed into Lifeboat No. 1 with her employer, fashion designer Lucy Duff-Gordon and her Scottish husband Lord Cosmo Duff-Gordon who allegedly bribed the boat crew to row them away even though the boat could carry 40 people. This is estimated to go for between $4,00 to $6,000.
