That's the first time I've seen a frame from the zapruder film in a newspaper from that weekend - top right newspaper.

Well, most of the sampled ones are from 11/23, but that particular one is from 11/27.

I didn't realize Life were giving the rights away to anyone. Maybe Life had some type of business relationship with that particular newspaper.

Very nice collection !

In the most popular Belgian newspaper no Zapruder scenes either, must be rare

J.P.C.

My JFK memorabilia is mostly in books signed by the authors, which include Mark Lane, Josiah Thompson, Penn Jones, Robert Groden, Michael Eddowes, John H. Davis, Ed Hoffman, Craig Zirbel, J. Gary Shaw & Larry Harris, Walt Brown, Mathew Smith, Cyril Wecht, Bill Sloan, Beverley Oliver, Ron Lewis, Connie Kritzberg, Norman Mailer, Madeleine Brown, Noel Twyman, Larry Hancock, William Law, Ian Griggs, Joan Mellen, Brian Andersen, Dick Russell, James Douglass, Doug Horne, Russ Baker, Barry Ernest, Judyth Vary Baker, James Tague, Jim Marrs, Barry Keane, Mark Bridger, Flip DeMay, Anita Dickason, Gayle Nix Jackson, Steve Cameron, Michael Marcades and Jim DiEugenio.  I will also obtain Malcolm Blunt's signature on my copy of 'The Devil is in the Details' at this year's DPUK Conference.

At every DPUK Canterbury conference an auction is held of books and JFK coins etc. So, over the years I have collected various sets of U.S. coins including a U.S. Proof set of Liberty coins showing U.S. presidents including JFK along with a set of one dollar, half dollar, quarter, cent, dime coins, + a U.S. Proof set minted in 1972 with set of coins & U.S. presidents including JFK in presentation case + same from 1967 in presentation case + a JFK half dollar 12g 90% silver minted in 1964.  (I am in the process of attempting to paint acrylic on canvas of a Dealey Plaza scene for this auction in Canterbury, which could raise hundreds of thousands of £ from the room + international bidders for DPUK's funds! 🎨🖼️🤣

In the book room at Lancer in 2013 some bint was selling a model of the 1961 Lincoln Continental 'X-100' with all the figures seated in their places....for $200!!  I really fancied it to buy, never seen anything like it before but the price was a rip off.  Anyway, in time I inherited the very same 'Kennedy car' from Ian Griggs' collection when he passed at a tiny fraction of the cost in Dallas.  I also have from Ian's collection a bronze bust of JFK.

Included in my man cave is a framed Altgens photograph showing X-100, the S.S. 'Queen Mary' and the TSBD, signed by Clint Hill.

I can also include the usual JFK fridge magnets, 'JFK for President-Leadership for the 1960's' etc bought from the 6th floor Museum.

Well it seems like my book collection has been collected over decades, the rest over the past two decades.

I'm a fully qualified JFK anorak, much to my wife's displeasure.

Thanks, JP. It's not something that I've looked into, but I wouldn't be surprised if Life sold the images to lots of media outlets around the world.

JAMA article signed by Drs. Humes and Boswell. Had I know Dr. Fink was living in Dallas in the last part of his life, I would have had him sign it too.

Pete, that's quite an impressive list of authors whose books you have signed copies of.

Danish. We're 6+ hours ahead of US time, and apparently the news of the assassination arrived too late for the 11/22 afternoon editions.
