Personally-worn John F. Kennedy necktie. This aubergine and gold striped tie comes with provenance from Dave Powers, long-time friend and Special Assistant to Kennedy. Accompanied by a COA signed by Powers' son, reading in part: ''...Many consider my father to have been President Kennedy's best friend. They campaigned together...and traveled the world together on presidential visits from 1960 to 1963. During their travels, they frequently needed to switch from casual attire to something more formal. My father and JFK were not the same size, but that mattered little when it came to neckties. This dark purple, light purple, and gold colored striped tie was worn by JFK and subsequently ended up with my father, who may have worn it as well, as they did share on occasion. My father carefully separated this tie from others that were his alone and preserved it among his valuable memorabilia and archives. My father was in the fateful motorcade in Dallas, right behind President Kennedy's vehicle. I can imagine that retaining a personal item of JFK's such as this and very few others allowed him to keep the President's memory very close.'' Measures 52'' long. Sewn-in label reads ''L3429''. Light staining, else near fine. From the February 2013 John McInnis sale of the collection of Dave Powers.
