Eisenhower, Dwight D. White linen handkerchief, 20 inches square, monogrammed "DDE" in burgundy and white. Personally owned and used by President Eisenhower, the handkerchief was given to Sgt. John Moaney, who served as Eisenhower's valet from 1942 until 1969. Sgt. Moaney was assigned to General Eisenhower during World War II. Ike asked Moaney to stay on with him when he became President, and when Ike was retiring to his Gettysburg farm, he asked President Kennedy to assign Sgt. Moaney to him there. Moaney stayed with the General until his death. In addition to the many mementoes Ike gave Moaney over the years, he bequeathed a sum of money to him in his will. Moaney's widow, Delores, provides a historical note of provenance, dated October 14, 1985, and typed on a card imprinted with a blue Presidential Seal and "The White House / Washington."
Estimated Value $450 - 550.

 
Realized $460
