Description
Dwight Eisenhower Fishing Lure President Eisenhower was an avid sportsman, and despite receiving regular criticism from the press about his hobbies, he still managed to find time to fish and golf. This large fishing lure was given by Ike to his trusted valet after one such trip. Sgt. John Moaney served as Ike's personal valet from 1942 until Ike's death in 1969, assisting him during his days as a five-star General during World War II, through his eight years as President, and continuing during his retirement until his passing. Moaney and his wife, Deloris, who served as a personal cook for the Eisenhowers, shared this memento with Raleigh DeGeer Amyx over twenty years ago. An engraved White House card with typed message about the lure is signed by Moaney's widow.Auction Info
