Kennedy White House Key FOB?

Submitted by Anne:
I recently found under the car mat of an old 1961 Lincoln sedan. A preliminary search turned up nothing but to be honest, I'm not very well versed in American political anything so when I came across your site, I wondered if you could be of assistance. Have you ever come across a key fob like this ? What was it a key fob for (other than keys)? What was it issued for? Is it even politically related or was there a hotel called The Whitehouse ?

John F Kennedy Bust

Submitted by Stephanie:
I have an old JFK bust that I have unsuccessfully searched for information on for years. The bust is solid marble, I believe and the base is wood. It is about 11 inches tall. Do you have any information on this bust, or an estimated value? I just took a close look at the bust and cannot find any kind of marking. But, I have just noticed that the wooden base may have been added to the bust. It looks like it may have been glued onto the top portion, and not be original to the bust. The base is nice, but there is visible glue and the fit to the base of the bust is not perfect. I'm not an expert, though. so it could have been made this way. The top of the bust is what I assume is marble, in an ivory color, and very heavy. I don't know if busts were made of actual ivory, but it almost feels like it could be made of ivory, if not marble.
