Lincoln's hat is a unique piece of headwear in Fallout 3.
Characteristics[]
A 19th century black felt, stovepipe hat famously worn by the 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln. At some point prior to the nuclear apocalypse, it was put on display in the Museum of History in Washington, D.C., where after 200 years of neglect, the hat has become worn and tattered and largely discolored with dirt and grime.
Location[]
The hat is located in the Museum of History. From the lower halls, enter the offices. Continue forward and head up the stairs. At the end of the stairway, turn right, head down the hallway and enter the first room on the right. It will be filled with rubble; the hat is slightly to the left, by a large desk. The hat is lying on the floor about 6–10 feet from the room entrance on the left. If one can't find the room it is the northwestern room on the local map. One can either fall down to the room from above when going upstairs or get there directly from the offices.

- Lincoln's Profit Margins - The hat is included in the list of items related to Lincoln that can be sold to Leroy Walker, Hannibal Hamlin or Abraham Washington. If the hat is sold to Hannibal, he says he will enshrine it, but since the hat is added to his inventory, he will wear it instead. He dismisses the hat as being “silly looking”, and as such, does not offer a high price for it.
Notes[]
- Reverse-pickpocketing this onto a trader for added repair skill does not work. It appears that non-player characters are immune to the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skill boosts that are provided by this item.
- If one does not already have 10 Intelligence, the Intelligence bonus gives +2 to the Science, Medicine and Repair skills. This is the only headgear other than Button's wig that gives these bonuses.
