RR Auction: JFK 50 Years After Dallas

Auction Details

RR Auction has assembled the most extensive JFK auction in recent memory, expertly weaving together the tale of one of our nation’s greatest presidents, fifty years after his tragic assassination in Dallas. Beginning with the 1,000 days of Camelot and his earlier years as senator, transitioning to the assassination and storied lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, we finally come full circle with Kennedy’s funeral and memorial. Offering an incredible collection of museum-quality items relating to John F. Kennedy, his celebrated family, and the tragedy of November 22, 1963, our auction will feature such extraordinary pieces as Kennedy’s personal engraved rosary, displaying the wear of constant use; a pair of JFK’s seldom-seen personally-owned and -worn prescription glasses; a 1963 Lincoln Continental used by the couple on their way to Dallas; the controversial 6th Floor Window from the Texas Book Depository; and Lee Harvey Oswald’s wedding ring, accompanied by a fascinating five-page letter from his widow revealing the ring’s history. Enjoy a rare opportunity to view all of these highlights and more in person at the Boston Omni Parker House, and online at RRAuction.com, in the largest JFK-themed auction of the year. A portion of the proceeds with be donated to The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, in honor of fallen Dallas Officer J.D. Tippit.
