1JFK)Here is an incredible collection of hand signed and annotated presidential memorabilia given by President Kennedy to his dear friend, bother in law, and fellow bon vivant Peter Lawford. Peter Lawford was married to President Kennedy's sister Patricia. They married on April 24, 1954 in New York City. Lawford then became a member of the extended Kennedy Family. Lawford and JFK became best friends early on. Lawford offered JFK an entree into the powerful Hollywood world of the beautiful people. JFK loved the heady life of that world, and the perks that came with it. He also garnered considerable financial and political support from the Hollywood crowd. JFK offered Lawford a seat at the table of the arguably most powerful man in the world. The relationship was a good one. Lawford campaigned constantly during all of JFK's political campaigns, doing all he could do to sway the Hollywood crowd into backing Kennedy. JFK, Lawford, Jacqueline Kennedy and Patricia Lawford were best friends, and constant companions. Jacqueline Kennedy remained very close to Lawford even after the assassination of JFK and subsequent divorce of Lawford and Patricia in 1966.

Included in this collection are many remarkable writings and comments from JFK to Lawford. Many of them are on books from JFK's private library. Many more are on books that JFK personally wrote. There are wonderful signed photos and pieces of inaugural memorabilia. Many of the comments give an extremely interesting insight into the real JFK, and his opinions of the men who helped shape his political manifestoes.

13JFK) Here is one of the rarest items of Kennedy Presidential Memorabilia. It is a pair of 14K solid yellow gold cufflinks. They feature a beautifully detailed and die struck Presidential Seal on the front, and President Kennedy's full signature on the back. These are the rarest of the Presidential cufflinks. Very few sets were ever made. They were frequently worn by President Kennedy. He also gave them to very close personal friends and visiting Heads of State. The last sets that I saw sell sold in the $10.000.00 range, plus a 15% buyers premium. They were from a major Collection of JFK memorabilia. The auction was at the Guernsey Auction House in New York approximately two years ago. JFK Presidential Memorabilia continues to be very difficult to obtain, and the values keep escalating. These cufflinks and several other JFK items now on my auction came from a long time member of the White House Staff. This man was also a close personal friend of both President and Mrs. Kennedy. He frequently traveled with the President. He spend 32 years on the White House Staff . This pair is priced considerably less than the two pair that sold on auction.

65JFK) Here is an absolutely stunning piece of art by the Artist Aldo Luongo. It depicts the Three Kennedy Brothers and the Hawk. The three Kennedy Brothers are beautifully depicted in the happy early days of the Kennedy Presidency. The Hawk represents the Artist's Father and appears in many of his works. The work is a Limited Edition Serigraph. It was done in 1984 and the Edition was completely sold out many years ago. This was a specially numbered rendering that was both signed by the artist and includes his hand written salutation and drawing of the Hawk. The Salutation reads "To Doc Foley with fond memories of your years in the Kennedy White House." The piece is numbered X/LXXV. The work is beautifully framed to archival standards and is ready to hang. The overall dimensions are approximately 40" x 45." This would make an incredible Holiday Gift for the Kennedy Collector. The Artist's Original Paintings now frequently sell for six figures.
