Items Signed by Many Important Figures are in One of a Kind Collectibles' Sept. 10th Online Auction

Coral Gables, FL, USA, September 3, 2020 -- A signed letter from then-General George Washington, a book signed by John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy at Christmas 1962, and a signed letter from Albert Einstein are expected top lots in an Internet-only auction ending September 10th at 8 pm Eastern time by One of a Kind Collectibles. Online bidding is open now, at www.OAKauctions.com.

Remarking on the online event, David Gindy of One of a Kind Collectibles said, ?This auction truly has a wide array of historic and scientific items. So many of these rare autographs and books capture poignant moments in history. Many of the lots in the auction showcase prominent figures throughout history, American history in particular. It truly is a collector?s paradise.?

Estimated to bring $15,000-$20,000, the 1776 letter from Washington to Abraham Yates, Jr. is a strong candidate for top lot of the auction. The one-page letter was written in the hand of Washington's aide-de-camp and signed by Washington. After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Long Island, Washington implored Yates (a New York politician and lawyer) to send ?four large Albany sloops...with as much dispatch as possible? to move wounded troops from New York City up the Hudson River to Orange Town.

The JFK and Jackie Kennedy signed copy of The White House: A Historic Guide was given as a gift at the White House?s 1962 Christmas party. JFK wrote and signed it, ?For Chris with the affectionate regards of his friends John Kennedy...Christmas 1962.? After his signature, he left a space for Jackie to sign, ?and love from Jackie.? The signed book, a memento of the Kennedys? final Christmas together in Camelot, should gavel for $6,000-$8,000.

A one-page letter typed and signed by Albert Einstein warns in German of the dangers of Nazism, specifically Der St?rmer, an anti-sematic German propaganda newspaper. In the letter, postmarked March 1, 1935, Einstein describes Der St?rmer as a ?monument to German barbarism? that may be used to ?inform the local non-Jewish circles about the true nature of Hitler's regime.? The letter and envelope should achieve $9,000-$12,000.

A first edition copy of Alexander Hamilton?s notorious Reynolds Pamphlet is expected to reach $10,000-$12,000. In the pamphlet, which is featured prominently in the hit Broadway musical, Hamilton admits to his affair with Maria Reynolds, while also denying the charges of financial impropriety levied against him. Hamilton?s family destroyed as many copies of this pamphlet as they could, so first editions of this work are exceedingly rare.

An 1895 police recruitment press release signed by Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the New York Board of Police Commissioners, should earn $1,200-$1,500. The press release advertises an initial salary of $1,000 a year and qualifies that, ?No weakling, no man of bad moral character and imperfect physical development need apply.? Signatures from figures, including notable pedestrian Edward Payson Weston, are included in the lot. ?The lot is one of only two pieces we have handled from this period,? Mr. Gindy remarked.
