President Eisenhower’s personally-owned and -used off-white linen handkerchief, folded to an overall size of 5.5 x 5.5, finely embroidered in white thread, “Ike.” In fine condition. Includes a letter of provenance on a White House card from Delores Moaney, wife of Sgt. John Moaney, who served as Dwight D. Eisenhower’s valet beginning in 1942. In part: “The white linen handkerchief monogrammed with a white ‘Ike’ on one corner owned and used by President Eisenhower. He gave the ‘hanky’ to my husband, his valet, from 1942–1969.” A desirable personal artifact, straight from the pocket of the general to his own long-standing valet, Sgt. John Moaney.
