Walter Alston and former President Ronald Reagan shared a deep mutual respect and admiration for one another. Alston made several trips to the oval office and the two corresponded regularly throughout their careers and retirement years.
The offered lot includes a framed 8x10 color photo of Alston in the oval office sharing a laugh with then President Ronald Reagan and a White House staffer. The bottom margin of the photo bears a written inscription “To Walter Alston with best wishes” and a secretarial version of Ronald Reagan’s signature
Also included is a pair of cufflinks representing the official Seal of the President of The United States. On the back of each of the cufflinks is Reagan’s engraved facsimile signature. These cufflinks remain in their original presentation box as they were presented to Alston in the course of his pictured visit to the White House.
Includes a letter of provenance from the Alston family.
