This is a news bite from New York Times from 20 years
back. The time was April, the year, 1996. A few of the possessions of President
John F Kennedy were up on auction. His arm chair and his coffee table, for
example. One of the last items up on auction was his tape measure. And guess
what price it commanded? It sold for a whopping 42,000 USD, not allowing for
commission and procedural charges. Yes, 42000 USD, back in the year 1996.
