President Eisenhower’s personally-owned drinking glass, measuring 5″ tall and 2.25″ in diameter, nicely etched on the side with the US Military Academy Coat of Arms. Includes a letter of provenance on a White House card from Delores Moaney, wife of Sgt. John Moaney, who served as Eisenhower’s valet beginning in 1942. Both Dolores and John Moaney lived with the Eisenhower family at their Gettysburg residence until the deaths of the General and Mrs. Eisenhower. In part: “The lovely West Point glass was owned by President Eisenhower. The President gave this glass to my husband, Sgt. Moaney, his valet. They had traveled together from 1942–1969.” Also accompanied by an official printed card with a raised presidential seal bearing Eisenhower’s facsimile signature, reading, “A small token of my gratitude for your helpfulness.” In impeccable condition.
