Description

Kennedy’s imported silk necktie given to his most-trusted special assistant

One of John F. Kennedy’s personally-owned and -worn neckties. Imported silk navy blue and red dot tie bears a Charles Dillon, Inc. New York maker’s label on the underside. Accompanied by a copy of a letter of authenticity from David J. Powers, the son of Kennedy’s special assistant David F. Powers, which states, “During their travels, they frequently needed to switch from casual attire to something more formal. My father and JFK were not the same size, but that mattered little when it came to neckties. This Charles Dillon, Inc. imported silk navy and red dot tie, was worn by JFK and subsequently ended up with my father… My father carefully separated this tie from others that were his alone and preserved it among his valuable memorabilia.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
