We have a couple shelves of political books, but just one President's photo on a wall


Somewhere in storage I have an original JFK 1960 handbill.

I bought the matted and framed photo at an estate sale this past summer. The same wall has a photo of John Lennon and a framed poster size of the Rat Pack in front of the Sands in Vegas.

Not because I love Nixon, just the most interesting pop culture in my lifetime. I have other Nixon stuff too. My favorite is my matching Nixon and Agnew music boxes with dancing caricatures of each, followed by my "You Can't Lick Our Dick" pinback button.

"Rarely is the question asked is our Children learning". My stupid Republican brother in law was shocked he thought it was a compliment. Same magnet holds two Obama inauguration postcards. His next comment was why is the magnet holding an Obama picture? (Over several issues he no longer is welcome in our house at the time one picture) I did not explain.

I have original posters, official WPA and CCC worker pins, slogan buttons, newspapers, plaques, etc. Pretty big collection at this point. All found at antique sales in NYC and State over the course of a few years.

I like your JFK photo. Good find.
