KENNEDY" and is marked "SHEAFFER" in gold on one side. A movable brass pen holder is secured to the base. A black Sheaffer fountain pen sits in the holder. Accompanied by two 8" x 10" color photographs of the president in the Oval Office with the pen set visible on his desk, one taken by Robert Knudsen dated August 23, 1962.
