Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt Miniature"Fala" Dog Figurine FDR maintained a collection of miniature dogs and pigs on a his desk and bedroom mantel while in the White House. Maid Lillian Rogers Parks had the task of dusting these mementos and packing them when painting or other work was to be done. A long historical letter details the care of Roosevelt's collectibles and tells of Eleanor Roosevelt's gift to her of this figurine upon FDR's death in 1945. This less than 3/4" long remembrance of Roosevelt's beloved dog Fala was somehow spared the damage of "nervous-fingered maids" detailed in the most informative letter by Parks.Auction Info
