Description
General "D. D. E." - Silver Eisenhower Napoleonic Bottle Opener President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower loved to entertain during their time in the White House. Maid Lillian Rogers Parks recounts Ike and Mamie's cooking and entertaining in a long, detailed historical letter which accompanies this engraved silver bottle opener which was no doubt used on more than one occasion at White House functions. Lillian Rogers Parks was appreciative of the Eisenhowers giving the silver opener to her. After the end of WWII Ike brought his opener to the White House in 1953.Auction Info
