[KENNEDY JOHN F.]: (1917-1963) American President 1961-63. A very small 0.5 x 0.5” swatch of blood-stained blue leather upholstery, originally part of the rear seat of Kennedy's presidential limousine, a modified royal blue Lincoln Continental convertible with the Secret Service code name SS-100-X, removed after his assassination. Encased ('slabbed') in clear plastic with a printed CAG certification label stating, 'Assassination of JFK Blood-Stained Leather Swatch from Dallas Limo 11/22/63'. VG Kennedy's presidential limousine featured a bespoke dark and light blue leather upholstered interior manufactured by Hess & Eisenhardt of Cincinnati, Ohio. All of the privately owned upholstery sections of the limousine SS-100-X are believed to have originated from the renowned United States Presidential collection of artifacts and autographs amassed by Raleigh De Geer Amyx. It is understood that, in 1983, Amyx obtained letters of authentication from F. Vaughn Ferguson, the White House technical service representative in charge of the presidential limousine, who assisted the White House upholsterer in removing the leather from the rear seat four days after JFK's tragic assassination and supervised its refurbishing for Lyndon B. Johnson.

V Levison no.62, consisting of two cast iron sides, wooden seat and back bearing name label (name worn)From the vendor: While relocating my barber shop, I was looking to replace my waiting chairs with old style folding ones. Browsing online for cinema chairs I came across a local antiques shop selling some rusty and tatty chairs with a laminate plastic cover. I went to view them and was told that they were found in an old storage unit in a service pit used for servicing automobiles. They looked like they would clean up well, so I took up the challenge and bought a few. Stripping the plastic off uncovered lovely wooden seats and backs, on these backs were names. Until this point, I had not noticed the LUFC engravings on the cast iron bases due to the rust. Some of the chairs had names and one said Visiting Director. I protected these with masking tape. Manager Don Revies name was revealed to me while removing tape from a chair, accidentally pulling off another name. Since being restored by myself they have featured in an Antiques Roadshow episode, radio and newspaper articles.
