John F. Kennedy’s Rocking Chair, Used by JFK as President
One of the few rocking chairs owned and used by John F. Kennedy as President, who famously relied on his rocking chairs to relieve back pain resulting from his WWII injuries. Kennedy’s personal physician, Dr. Janet Travell, first treated JFK as a Senator in the 1950s, where she prescribed the use of rocking chairs custom-made to his specifications. Sold for $90,000.
Hundreds of orchestral arrangements owned by Judy Garland, including her classics such as ”Over the Rainbow”, ”Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, ”Judy at the Palace”, ”I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” and more. Arrangements were primarily used by Garland for ”The Judy Garland Show” in 1963-64, and also for other performances such as Judy’s show at the Palace, where the trunk containing the documents was left. Large black trunk is stamped ”JUDY GARLAND” on the outside, left by Garland at the Plaza Hotel in the late 1960s, and then subsequently given to Costas Omero, the director and producer of the Plaza show ”Look Me Up”. Interestingly, the history of the trunk is alluded to in the 2019 film ”Judy”, when an employee of a hotel, ostensibly the Plaza, informs Garland that they are putting her items in storage as a result of non-payment. Arrangements for the nearly 50 songs are housed in folders stamped with various notes, most indicating they were used in her CBS show. The folder containing the arrangements for ”Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, for example, is stamped in green ”Judy Garland Show 15”, which was the Christmas Special airing on 6 December 1963. Many of the individual arrangements are also similarly stamped, and some of the ones for ”Over the Rainbow” are stamped in black ”Judy Garland”. Although most of the arrangements are for individual instruments, some are for the entire orchestra. Some expected wear to trunk, but overall in very good condition. Complete list of songs is included. With LOA from Costas Omero’s daughter. Sold for $30,559.
Harry Truman’s personally owned rocking chair. Beautifully crafted wooden rocking chair was donated by Mrs. Truman in the fall of 1962 to the Women’s Guild charity sale at the Trinity Episcopal Church, the church where she married the president in 1919. Patterned cushioning is from the chair’s reupholstering in the 1950’s by Jennings Furniture in Independence, according to the Historic Furnishing Report of the Harry S. Truman Home and National Historic Site. Truman was known for making use of his rocking chair, having mentioned it in numerous interviews including one with Edward R. Murrow in which he joked, ”I do an immense amount of it [manual labor] from a rocking chair.” Staining to the upper left of the upper cushion, else near fine. Accompanied by an 8” x 10” notarized LOA, mounted on a wooden plaque, from the charity sale’s chairwoman, Mrs. W. Howard Huffman of Independence, Missouri. Sold for $23,116.

Scarce 110-year old chair from the administration of President William McKinley. Wooden chair, most likely mahogany, bears brass plaque on underside of seat which reads, ”Executive Mansion / President / William McKinley / Comr P B&G. / Colonel Theo. A. Bingham.” Colonel Theodore A. Bingham was responsible for renovating The White House, or the ”Executive Mansion” as it was then called, during the Benjamin Harrison administration approximately ten years before McKinley occupied the venerable residence. The federal-style wooden chair has a rectangular back and simple geometric solar design carved at top. The seat upholstered in royal blue leather is heavily worn with most of the leather torn off, exposing internal canvas, and not intended for sitting. The rest of the chair has some wear and rubbing, particularly to bottoms of legs, but still stands firmly making it a nice item for display. Back part of chair measures 14.5” x 19”; seat measures 16” x 17”, and entire chair from floor to top measures 36”.
Sold for $20,546.
John Wayne’s wardrobe trunk from Republic Pictures. Spacious black travel case was used by John Wayne when shooting on location and likely accompanied him to Ireland when he filmed ”The Quiet Man.” A plaque affixed to the trunk is engraved ”Republic Pictures / Wardrobe Dept. / J. Wayne”. With low-budget westerns as the studio’s bread and butter, Republic developed the images of such stars of the genre as Wayne, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Under Herbert J. Yates the studio flourished, ultimately producing nearly a thousand films in 25 years. In 1949 the once humble b-movie production house made ”Sands of Iwo Jima” in which Wayne starred and received the first of three Oscar nominations in his career. Location shoots for ”Sands” took place all around Southern California, including the Channel Islands, Camp Del March, El Toro Marine Air Station and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Republic and Wayne saw commercial success together again in 1952 with ”The Quiet Man,” directed by John Ford. Critically acclaimed, it became Republic’s only Academy Award-winning picture, winning Best Cinematography and Best Direction. All the outdoor scenes were shot on location in Ireland. It was Wayne’s last picture for Republic. With an LOA from the daughter of the trunk’s recipient, who explains how her father acquired it from noted western stuntman John ”Bear” Hudkins. Trunk features a compartmentalized interior with built-in hanger and four drawers of varying sizes. Exterior features brass closures and corner reinforcements, and a leather strap for handling attached to the side. Expected bumping and scuffing, with 1960’s era stickers affixed to exterior, likely by Wayne, as this was his personal property. Measures 4.5′ tall, 2.5′ wide, and 1.5′ deep. Very good condition. Sold for $5,027.
