President Roosevelt Personal Matchbook
FDR's Personal matchbook. This is the type he actually used in The White House. According to the FDR Library's website FDR designed the sail boat logo with his initials in the sails himself. This is probably the most famous of all the FDR matchbooks as this is the matchbook that the FDR library choice to reproduce for themselves. This Roosevelt designed sailboat logo was also used for The USS Roosevelt named after President Roosevelt. I have only had a few of these genuine President Roosevelt matchbooks and these are among the best shape I have see, because of their age they are almost always found falling apart. I acquired these matchbooks directly from the family of a former Roosevelt White House staffer. Its amazing to think about the history these matchbooks might have been whiteness to. 100.00

Very Rare "Swiped"
President Truman Cigarette Case
and Matchbook
This is a fantastic piece of Presidential history that shows the rarely seen sense of humor of President Truman. This is a rare official Presidential gift from the Truman White House. Despite the inscription I cannot guaranty this was actually stolen off of the desk of president Truman I can guaranty it is in fact a very rare President Truman VIP gift. This cigarette case is in very nice shape for its age with only a few scratch as can be seen in the photos. The printing while slightly worn is still strong. This case is also fairly heavy and well made not like the much lighter Truman era campaign cigarette case that I have seen. I obtained this directly from the personal collection of a former White House staffer. These are very hard to find and I have only seen one other for sale in all my years of presidential collecting. This is truly a museum quality item. I am also including Swiped from Harry Truman matchbook. $500.00

Rare President Truman
White House Mechanical Pencil
This is rare and hard to find President Truman official White House mechanical pencil that I obtained directly from the personal collection of a former White House staffer. Mechanical pencils were considered pretty high tech for the day. This is a fairly large mechanical pencil a good 5 3/4" long and fairly thick. It bears the inscription.
"From
Harry S. Truman The White house
Washington D. C."
However what makes this pencil truly special is there is a black and white photo of President Truman sitting at his desk in The Oval Office at the top of this mechanical pencil. This item is in excellent condition with only slight yellowing on the white part. There is no lead left so I cannot check the functionality of this mechanical pencil so I am selling it as a Truman White collectible only. $275.00

Rare President Eisenhower Dinner Program with Ticket
This is a very rare and hard to find in this shape official Dinner Program for President Eisenhower. It is made by Hallmark the maker of most of the Official Large White Christmas Gift Prints. It is approximately 10" by 13". What makes this item so special is it comes with two pull out Gift Prints One a copy of a painting of President Eisenhower in black and white and the other is a ful color print of a painting of President Lincoln done by Eisenhower himself in 1953. Eisenhower was an accomplished painter and many of his painting including this one were used for the official White House Large Christmas Gift Prints. What also makes this special is it has the original unused ticket showing the cost of attending the dinner $100.00 so at my asking price of $50.00 that's a 50% savings after.
