London, November 16 (ANI): The last autograph signed by late US President John F Kennedy has been auctioned off for a whopping 39,000 dollars.
He had signed it next to the date, Nov 22, 1963 on the front page of a copy of the Dallas Morning News, on the day he was assassinated.
A woman in the crowd had requested for the autograph, just two hours before his death.
Now, Joe Maddalena, president and owner of Profiles in History in Calabassas, California has purchased the item.
He plans to “hold on to it for a while and put it on display with other JFK items at the appropriate times.”
“It’s chillingly historic because it documents the day, documents the location and it’s certainly one of the last signatures of John Kennedy,” the Telegraph quoted Doug Norwine, a director at Heritage Auctions, as saying. (ANI)
