BOSTON, MASS.- In a tribute to one of America's most iconic leaders, RR Auction is showcasing a remarkable collection of John F. Kennedy memorabilia this May, coinciding with the anniversary of his birth. Featuring nearly 800 lots, this exceptional auction not only highlights President Kennedy's storied life and legacy but also includes rare artifacts from other historical figures.

Highlights of Kennedy-Related Material:

• The Remarkable Kennedys Book: This one-of-a-kind book, signed by 11 family members, includes Joseph P. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy, and his wife Jacqueline, Robert F. Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy, among others. This first edition, published in 1960, offers a unique glimpse into the Kennedy legacy.

• John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Cake Knife: A historic Reed & Barton sterling silver cake knife used by President Kennedy to slice the inaugural cake at the 1961 ball at the Mayflower Hotel. This knife, engraved with dedications and bearing a maker's mark, was part of a grand event featuring a $10,000 cake made by the American Bakery & Confectionery Workers International Union.

• The Peace Corps Act Page Signed by JFK: This signed page from the pioneering Peace Corps legislation, presented to Bill Moyers, marks one of Kennedy's most impactful acts. It has been in the possession of the Moyers family since its signing in 1961.

The auction includes rare and uncut teletype reports on President Kennedy's assassination, offering a raw and unfiltered view of one of the most dramatic days in American history through an original AP teletype roll and Dow Jones ticker tape.
