This beautifully curated John F. Kennedy memorial collection brings together four evocative pieces of American history—each tied to the legacy, memory, and mythos of the 35th President.
At the heart of the set is an original bag which was distributed by the museum located at 411 Elm Street, Dallas, the very site of the Texas School Book Six Floor Depository. Made of heavy‑duty waxed paper bag, measuring 16" × 15.5" × 6". Its bold black‑and‑white photograph captures JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy arriving in Dallas on November 22, 1963, a moment forever frozen in the nation’s collective memory.
The twisted paper handles and thick, wax‑coated construction give it a sturdy, archival feel—more keepsake than shopping bag.
Included with it is a Shelia’s 3‑D wood Armed Services Tribute plaque (2003), featuring a full‑color portrait of JFK, patriotic emblems, and one of his most stirring quotes. At 8" wide × 6" tall × 0.75" deep, it displays beautifully on a desk or shelf, with layered cut‑wood detailing that gives it depth and presence.
You’ll also receive a vintage Junior Golden Guide mini‑book on John F. Kennedy, a compact 48‑page biography filled with crisp black‑and‑white photographs, childhood stories, wartime service, and presidential milestones. At just 5" × 4", it feels like a pocket‑sized time capsule.
Rounding out the set are two original 1960 campaign buttons, each 0.875" in diameter—one “Kennedy for President,” the other “Kennedy Johnson.” Their vivid red‑white‑blue enamel and classic typography embody the optimism and energy of the 1960 campaign trail.
Together, these pieces form a warm, nostalgic, and display‑ready tribute—perfect for collectors of presidential history, Sixth Floor Museum visitors, educators, or anyone who appreciates the enduring legacy of John F. Kennedy.
