Oswald’s personally-owned and -worn ‘sailor suit’ suspenders outfit from when he was a toddler, consisting of buttoning navy cloth with anchor-shaped buckles. Includes an original vintage color matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Oswald wearing the clothes, notated in the lower right corner by his mother, “Lee, Age 2,” as well as on the reverse, “Lee—2 years.” In very good condition, with some soiling to inside and a few small moth holes (one noticeable to the right pant leg). Accompanied by letters of authenticity from his older brother, Robert L. Oswald, as well as a 1963 glossy press photo featuring the image of him in the clothes. Oswald’s upbringing was an unusual one—his father passed away two months prior to his birth, and Marguerite Oswald was an ironic combination of absentee parent and overbearing mother. In January 1942, she committed her other two sons, Robert and John, to an orphan asylum called the Bethlehem Children’s home; Lee remained with her because he was too young to be admitted—just two years old, the period that this clothing is from.
