About the Item

The Kennedys Amidst the Gathering Storm: A Thousand Days in London, 1938-1940 by and Signed by Will Swift. Published by Smithsonian, 2008. Stated 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. A fresh, empathetic interpretation of the ambassadorship of Joseph Kennedy and explores the intricate, often shifting relationships among Kennedy, Chamberlain, Churchill, and, of course, Roosevelt.

    Located in Miami, FL
    IMCO mechanical lighter made by the Julius Franz Meister Company. This is an amazing authentic petrol lighter original from the art deco period. This industrial piece was originally designed and patented by Hans Silverknopf and was made in Austria back in 1925-26 by the Julius Meister Company, JMCO commonly know as IMCO.
