Tiffany & Company sterling silver calendar mounted on wood, 4.5" x 3.75", presented to JFK's inner circle of advisors after the Cuban Missile Crisis October 1962.

Her initials, "E.N.L.", are engraved on the upper left. The president's initials, "J.F.K.", are engraved on the upper right. Marked "TIFFANY & CO STERLING."
