Assassination relics from Ford's on auction

[Rhatkinson]

I saw where these from the Dow collection are part of a large auction set for this weekend (Nov. 7th).

It includes a swatch of wallpaper from the presidential box and part of the box's flooring.    
Here is the link to the item:

Be sure and puruse some of the other non-Lincoln items as well. One that piqued my interest is the license plate which was on President Kennedy's limo when he was assassinated.

Another great item is this "mended" salad plate from the Lincoln China collection. Per the history accompanying the plate, it was broken when Mrs. Lincoln threw it at the POTUS. Whether that is true or not can't be proven, but it was then given to Mrs. (Giddeon) Wells by Mrs. L after it was glued back together.

It would make a great conversation piece if you have a few extra bucks lying around. By comparison, a similar (albeit unbroken) plate from the Lincoln service recently sold for $13,145 - http://historical.ha.com/itm/political/-...ion-071515

Here is the JFK limo plate that I mentioned above.
   

For some reason, I am unable to post more than one picture in a post on my iPad because all pictures are named "image.jpg" automatically and can't be renamed; thus subsequent pictures all share the identical file name as the first picture posted, preventing a successful post, and causing me to curse.
(If anyone can cure my ignorance on this issue, I would be most obliged.)
