Impressive display consisting of five items: a laminated registered letter envelope, 6 x 4.25, addressed by Lee Harvey Oswald to his mother, “U.S.A., Mrs. M. Oswald, Vernon, Texas Box 982,” postmarked Minsk, Dec. 21, 1961, with the return address written in Russian by Oswald, signing his name in Russian; a Silver Spur business check, 8 x 3, filled out and signed by Jack Ruby, payable to Hughes for $200.00, dated February 5, 1951; a lock of over ten strands of President Kennedy’s hair cut by a barber at the home of JFK’s brother-in-law Peter Lawford in 1963; a small swatch of bloodstained leather from the rear seat of the 1961 Lincoln Continental President Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated; and a souvenir typescript on a cream 6.25 x 8.5 sheet of personal letterhead with embossed presidential eagle, signed in black felt tip, “Gerald R. Ford.” Ford’s statement regarding the findings of the Warren Commission. In full: “In 1964, the Warren Commission unanimously decided: 1. Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin, and 2. The Commission found no evidence of a conspiracy, foreign or domestic. As a member of the Commission, I endorsed these conclusions in 1964 and fully agree now as the sole surviving Commission member.” All five items are all cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 25.5 x 24.5. In overall fine condition. The swatch originates from the collection of Raleigh DeGeer Amyx, and is accompanied by copies of documentation from F. Vaughn Ferguson, Technical Service Representative at the White House, as well as a certificate of authenticity from John Reznikoff. Also included is a copy of a letter of authenticity from barber Harry Gelbart, who cut Kennedy’s hair in Long Beach, California in July of 1963. An amazing collection of items from the most important men involved in the Kennedy assassination from start to finish.
