1943 Scarce Franklin D. Roosevelt Christmas Gift to White House Staff. A unique Christmas gift president by President Roosevelt to White House staff in 1943. It is a brown/mahogany color magnifying glass. The inscription reads "Christmas 1943 From F.DR." When placed flat on the table it has a 1.75" convex bubble that magnifies the image below. Certainly ranks as one of the most unique presidential gifts to staff. Original, of course.
Christmas 1943 held deep significance for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the White House, set against the backdrop of World War II. With American troops engaged in fierce battles overseas, including in Italy and the Pacific, the holiday season was marked by somber reflection and national unity. Roosevelt used his Christmas message to encourage resilience and sacrifice, emphasizing hope and faith in ultimate victory.
