Bid For Camelot
This weekend features another live auction at Alexander Autographs (www.alexautographs.com), where lots of JFK and Jackie O items will be up for sale. A rare signed wedding picture, with an estimated price of $12,000, is just a little bit of the stuff our pals at Alexander have to offer.
They traffic in all sorts of historical documents, autographs, and Americana. This auction, for example, includes bronze-clad plaster castings of Abraham Lincoln's hands, John Lennon's signature on a book about spies, and a note written by Jurgen Stroop, the Nazi SS leader who ordered the torching of the Warsaw ghetto.
