I have a lot of weird stuff...guess I've always been a packrat.

One thing I have that's rather unusual - remember when families used to have milk delivered to their homes in glass bottles each morning? Well, in 1962 (or early 1963, 'cause JFK was president) the round heavy paper inner "stoppers" were printed with a series of presidential portrait drawings, along with the years they served. I have an entire set of thirty-five. This was done by my local milk company in Brooklyn; I have no idea if it was also done nationally.

Somewhere, I have a couple of NY Daily News papers dealing with John Lennon's murder.

Don Cardi - interesting you should mention first day covers. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered my father's first day cover collection which spanned roughly 1932 - 1971. Lots of carefully preserved stuff, but nothing presidential. He did have the coronation of England's King Edward VIII, but that's as close as it got. (Edward VIII would abdicate a year or so later to marry Wallis Simpson.)

I have a barf bag (unused!) that was given out at movie theatres in 1971 when the film Mark of the Devil was shown. It's printed with the film's logo. Yes, I used to collect airsick bags many years ago in my flying days...

I have a couple of 78rpm records from 1927 dealing with the parade and reception for Charles Lindbergh. They are radio transcriptions, issued commercially. One of the records has speeches by "Lucky Lindy" himself and then-president Calvin Coolidge.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.
