The multi volume "presidential" collection from the Witt estate. From George Washington through George Bush each album is jam packed with information. Most interesting are the many autopen and surrogate (secretary) signed items from the more modern era with enough information to tell the differences in most cases. Does include the occasional presidential autograph especially Lyndon Johnson through the Bushes. There is one Theodore Roosevelt autographed letter from 1908. Much ancillary material and ephemera that would be a treasure trove for History buffs and Social Studies teachers to use as original sources. Includes event covers, FDCs, buttons, pins and bumper stickers, and many other philatelic pieces too. Take a long look. Interesting. (Image)
