NEW YORK (FoxNews) – A pair of black cowboy boots emblazoned with
the presidential seal (above) and several rare works of art were among
the first pieces of Ronald Reagan memorabilia to sell Wednesday as
treasured items from the former first family’s personal collection went
up for auction in New York.
The highly sought-after items — several of which went for well above
their estimated value — were put on the auction block inside a small
room before a hushed crowd of eager bidders at Christie’s in midtown
Manhattan. In total, 700 lots are being offered at the in-person auction
that continues into Thursday,
