Fallout 3 miscellaneous item Lincoln's Voice weight: 2 value: 5 quests: Lincoln's Profit Margins base id: 00028EE6

Lincoln's Voice is found in the Museum of History Offices. It is located in the Library (the 2-story room with the turret), upstairs, on a desk to the left of the hole blown in the main room up there.

This item is literally Lincoln's voice. It is a recording of Abraham Lincoln's voice on one of Thomas Edison's Phonograph machines from early America. Hannibal Hamlin will give you 50 caps for it, 100 with a speech check. Also, Abraham Washington will pay you 60 caps, and 120 after a speech check.

The recording is part of the unmarked Lincoln's Profit Margins quest.

Behind the scenes

• In the "real world," Thomas Edison did not build his first phonograph until 1877, over a decade after Lincoln's assassination.
