That's an interesting item. I've seen quite a number of other such pieces from different schools, companies and industries, including one from the Commandant at the US Naval Academy, requesting that the annual Army-Navy game in 1963 either be canceled or re-scheduled in respect for JFK.
ReplyDeleteFrom similar items, I'd say it would fall into a $200-250.00 price range. But those items have a narrow audience - specifically those who collect assassination-related materials.
