Ted Kennedy Unique Item




Submitted by Matt:


I have a model of th F-16XL delta wing airplane that was created by General Dynamics in 1980 for Senator Ted Kennedy. General Dynamics created models for each of the senators at that time as a sales piece to try and sell full scale production to the US Government. The model that I have was creates specifically for Sen. Ted Kennedy and has his name on the base as well as each side of the cockpit where the pilot's name goes. I understand that Ted Kennedy refused the model as he had no intention of supporting the purchase of the production plane. This model was given back to General Dynamics and has been passed through to me.



Matt would be interested in opinions on value and offers to purchase

Ronald Reagan Inaugural Carpet


Submitted by Tammy:

It is a swatch of carpet from President Reagan's inauguration. The company I worked for at the time provided the carpeting for the inauguration and gave some of their employees this souvenir. I have kept this for some number of years. . The tag on the carpet swatch reads: When President Reagan celebrated his inauguration, Galaxy was there. And here's a souvenir. This is a sample of the Galaxy carpet actually installed and walked on at one of President Reagan's official inaugural balls.


Tammy would like to know if the item has any value.
