Kennedy Cup and Saucer

Submitted by Linda:
Can you help me identify this cup and saucer? Family story is that it came from JF Kennedy dinner in Los Angeles where close family friend, now deceased, was a chef. I used Google to find out there was a fund raising dinner in June 1993 in Los Angeles. "Six month before the assassination, President Kennedy attends a Democratic Party fund-raising dinner for 150 members of the President's Club of Los Angeles. President Kennedy addresses a breakfast with Democratic State Committeewomen of California at the Hollywood Palladium.”

Ronald Reagan Convention Medallion

Submitted by Larry:
I recently came into possession of a bronze commemorative medallion from the 1980 GOP Convention in Detroit Michigan sponsored by Cadillac depicting the renaissance center on one side and an Oak Tree from the First GOP Convention 1854 Jackson Michigan on the other. It came in a Blue bag with Gold draw string and a slip of paper stating "Cadillac welcomes you to Detroit Michigan USA". I am not interested in getting rid of it but I cannot find anything anywhere giving any idea of its value. I want to make sure that it is properly insured and valued. Any states on how many were made and distributed would be helpful as well. This was as we all know the convention Ronald Wilson Reagan was Nominated.

John F Kennedy Inaugural Address Book

Submitted by Sandra:
I found an interesting book in my late mothers belongings. It is a hardcover book with Kennedy's inaugural address. The book is white, on the spine embossed in gold is "INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF JOHN F. KENNEDY JANUARY 20, 1961". On the cover embossed in gold is the Presidential seal. Inside is simply the text of the speech. The book is in a hardcover sleeve that is also white and has the Presidential Seal embossed in gold on the front. It measures 7"x10". There are no other markings that would indicate a publisher or copyright.

I have attached some pictures of it.

Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Kennedy Pope John XXIII Memorabilia

Submitted by Chris:
Just going through some old boxes and have found a commemorative ceramic tile for John Kennedy’s meeting with the Pope John XXlll. I think this meeting did not take place as John XXlll died on June 2nd 1963. The President did go on to meet Paul Xl early in July of the same year. The tile measures 150mm x 75mm and is in reasonable condition, it has never been mounted. It has a small chip on the top left corner and some sort of paint on the right edge which I am sure could be removed.
