The Tiffany and Co. 18K Gold Presidential Seal Signet Ring Jackie had commissioned for JFK on his 45th Birthday. Jackie also bestowed a Cartier "Pinkie" ring to him the following year. When you come to the sale, be sure to ask "why was neither the Tiffany nor Cartier ring stamped"? The answer will give you an insight into then-Mrs. Kennedy's definition of class.

Back inscription: JFK love JBK. This inscription is the same as that of the Cartier watch that JFK gave to Jackie: JBK love JFK

JFK's Signed Oath of Office (Certificate of Authenticity). We have worked with the head curator of the JFK Presidential Library. This wasn't a legal documentation of his oath. Esquire caught a clue of this when we noticed the punctuation of the document. Can you spot what's weird about it? The curator confirmed that this was an extremely rare piece (they have never come across one). We don't know to whom it was originally given, but we know what kind of person to which it was given. When you come, Cooper will explain it.

Max Turner Signed Bronze: What gives bronze art value beyond that of a "souvenir" that ends up in a closet? There are many reasons including cost of materials (bronze, silicone for molds, tools, ovens, etc.) The main reason is that there are very few people trained in the tedious process, practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans.Bronze sculpture is not easy to make and there are many time consuming, difficult steps involved. In a world of hi-tech mass production, bronze casting remains essentially unchanged. Each of our genuine bronze castings is in reality an "original" and the following explains why. These are the basic steps involved in creating a bronze Sculpture using the classic "cire perdue" (lost wax) process:artist's original model
silicone mold of the model
create lost wax mold
bronze casting
clean mold from casting
grind, rasp and file bronze
assemble pieces by welding
file and finish assembled piece
polishing
application of patina
All bronze pieces are cast from a wax mo

The Griffin's Large Macassar/Vavona Marquetry Humidor Cigar lovers are infamously obsessed with toys. Ranging from the functional to the whimsical to the esoteric, there's no shortage of gadgets and gizmos to collect, from lighters with all sorts of finishes to cutters that punch holes, gouge wedges or slice with surgical precision. But the ultimate toy for any true cigar fanatic is a new humidor, an attractive, functional box that connoisseurs will spend years refilling, maintaining and admiring.

Whether you're looking to expand your cigar collection or are just beginning your love affair with tobacco, you'll need a sturdy, efficient humidor to ensure that your prized smokes are always stored in pristine condition. But if you're like most men, you don't just want a wooden box -- you want a humidor that's as much a work of art as it is a storage space.

The humidors use a self-regulating humidification system
