A one-half ounce unopened bottle of "Jacqueline" perfume, originally produced as a promotional item during John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. Housed within its original black cloth and gilt drawstring pouch, the bottle measures 2" wide by 2.5" tall. Together with a 9" x 7" UPI photograph of the future first lady hosting a tea during the campaign, featuring scattered clerical notations and handstamping on verso. Accompanied by its original Hantman's auction tag and signed COA from Mary Gallagher, Jackie's private secretary and personal attendant. Bottle exhibits light rubbing and intermittent surface scratching; the pouch shows minor fabric runs and areas of loose thread. Overall, very good.
