Very Rare "Swiped" President Truman Cigarette Case

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. $500.00

President Truman White House Gift Lighter

This is a very rare President Truman official White personal gift lighter. These lighter were known to often be carried by President Truman in his coat pocket and given out personally by him.

One to Lillian Roger Parks his favorite personal maid and one to Secret Service agent Frank Stoner. What makes this particular one even more rare is it still comes with its original tin, protective bag outer slip cover and all its paperwork (instructions, warranty order forms) . The lighter and case are in fantastic condition for its age the out slip cover box has some tape on the edge to keep it from coming apart. I have never seen one more complete and in better condition.

Very Rare 1948 Official Truman Personal Christmas Gift to his Staff

Very Rare 1948 Official Truman Personal Christmas Gift to his Staff This is a very rare personal Christmas Gift given personally by President Truman while he was president in 1948 to only 740 members of his staff. This year Truman's official gift was a brown leather bookmark embossed with The Presidential Seal and his motto

“I would rather have peace in the world than to be President”

This was not a generic Truman White House gift but a gift ordered by Truman to give as a Christmas gift to Staff. Only 740 were given out to employees at The White House.

This is one of the finest examples of these that I have seen in many years. Most of the surviving bookmarks are missing at least some of the fringe so finding one like this one with complete fringe but also with the gold embossing in such shape is very rare. The only signs of ware on this is a few small spots a slight crease in the middle and a few of the lower fringe tend to twist a little but they are all completely attached. If your looking for a complete bookmark make sure the fringe hasn’t been cut off to make it look complete.

If you are a President Truman fan or a collector of Presidential Xmas gifts this is a must for your collection. This is a true museum quality addition to any Presidential collection.

The last photo is the bookmark I have for sale next to the example in the Seeley book, a must have if you collect presidential Christmas gifts and cards.

Official Senator John F Kennedy Sterling Silver Pen

This is a very rare hard to find Sterling Silver Imperial Pen made for then Senator John F Kennedy by Silvercraft. Silvercraft took pens of other manufacturers and added a sterling silver overlay over the barrel. Silvercraft made a couple of different pens for JFK first as Senator, then for the Inauguration and finely as Presidential gifts. This pen is an Imperial ball point pen marked Sterling. The pen has a stencil cut filigree design on the barrel and the words "Senator John F. Kennedy" This pen shows some natural age and toning but it is in good shape and in working order, though it will need a new cartridge to write. According to the Guernsey's JFK auction were one of these pens was featured these pens were not only given out by Senator Kennedy but he frequently used them himself as well. The last 2 photos are for reference only. It is the pen that was featured in the Guernsey auction which is the same type of pen that I have here. $795.00

Extraordinarily Rare Reagan Assassination Pen

This is the rarest President Reagan Pen I have ever had. This pen is from a incredibly historical significant point in American history. The 1981 assignation attempt of President Ronald Reagan and his miraculous recovery. It is the opinion of many historians that the assassination attempt and Presidential Reagan's remarkable recover and the way he was able to brilliantly turn the resulting sympathy and good will into political capital that steam rolled over Democratic objection to his political agenda.

This is a pen especial made for president Reagan's emergency surgery and recovery at George Washington University Hospital, From March to April o1981.It was given out to his Doctors and Support Staff in attendance. I got this directly from a person who was among the first wave of White House people that swarmed the hospital when the President was brought there. He spent 4 straight days there before he was relived. He was again at the hospital during the later part of his stay and it was for that service that he received the pen.

While Presidential gifts including pens are often made for Presidential Trips or special occasions I have only heard of one other pen made for a hospital stay or procedure and that was the one Regan gave out to his Doctors and support staff for his prostrate operation in 1987.

This is the only one of these pens I have ever seen come up for sale or in fact actually seen in person. Hopefully there will never again be a reason for such a pen to be made. I cant begin to state how rare this pen is and saying that it is in a fact a true museum piece is barely scratching the surface. The pen itself is in excellent conditions.

Printed on the pen is the following.

Thanks for your Prayers
.
Ronald Reagan
