Attractive soft leather bifold padfolio gifted as a Christmas present from President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan in 1982. Made by Bond Street, the padfolio measures 8 x 9.75, with the front bearing a gilt seal of the President of the United States next to “Christmas, 1982,” and the inner sleeve bearing an inscription in gilt lettering: “To R.
