Abstract

The article discusses the renewed interest in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, particularly in light of its 60th anniversary. A recent auction by RR Auction in Boston featured items related to the assassination, including two pieces of blood-stained leather from the presidential limousine, which sold for $46,865. Other notable items included a section of picket fence from Dealey Plaza and Lee Harvey Oswald's first handgun, which fetched $13,740 and $31,625, respectively. The leather pieces were authenticated by F. Vaughn Ferguson, who was involved in the limousine's care immediately after the assassination. [Extracted from the article]
