Among these items is &#8220;previously unknown and unseen&#8221; film footage showing former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy over her husband&#8217;s body as they rushed away from the scene of his assassination at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. This 8 mm film, which will be available at Boston&#8217;s RR Auction on Saturday, September 28, contains the only known images of John F. Kennedy&#8217;s motorcade taken after his assassination on November 22, 1963, as captured by the famous Zapruder film. It is anticipated to sell for a minimum of $100,000, with online bids already exceeding $17,000.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, RR Auction will feature items related to the April 15, 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth and memorabilia from Booth&#8217;s family. A significant piece in this collection is an original wanted poster for conspirators Booth, John Surratt, and David Herold that offers a &#8220;$100,000 Reward!&#8221; for information leading to their capture; it could fetch around $80,000 with early bids approaching $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>Also included in the auction is a playbill for &#8220;Our American Cousin,&#8221; which was being performed on the night Lincoln was shot at Ford\u2019s Theater. The auction features jewelry belonging to Booth\u2019s family and sterling silver chalices engraved with the letter \u201cB.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This sale was organized prior to a recent second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Florida. The Kennedy footage is particularly striking as it shows Secret Service agent Clint Hill alongside Mrs. Kennedy attempting to protect JFK after he likely sustained fatal injuries before reaching Parkland Memorial Hospital. In his book &#8220;Five Days In November,&#8221; Hill recounts this harrowing moment: \u201cThe president has suffered a fatal wound&#8230; Mrs. Kennedy shrieks&#8230; I scream at the driver&#8230; Time has stopped.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The film was recorded by a truck driver who pursued JFK&#8217;s motorcade after realizing he had missed witnessing the shooting firsthand. According to RR Auction: \u201cAlmost every photograph and motion picture from that day in Dallas was seized by authorities afterward; all known footage has been thoroughly examined by investigators and historians alike.&#8221; This previously unseen reel presents an exceptional chance to revisit the tragic events of November 22nd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2343450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/JFK-Auction-Car.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[7681,36065,4145,41240],"class_list":["post-2343449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-auction","tag-jfk-assassination","tag-lincoln","tag-relics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/JFK-Auction-Car.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
