Here is a collection of one-of-a -kind Oswald and JFK assassination artifacts.
This uniform was worn by Dallas police officer Nick McDonald as he arrested officer of Lee Harvey Oswald.
HERE IS AN ACCOUNT OF OSWALD"S CAPTURE
Johnny Calvin Brewer was an employee at Hardy’s shoe store. He noticed a man behaving strangely in his store and watched as the man left. He noticed the man slip into the Texas Theater without paying and notified the lady at the ticket window. She called the police. Officer M.N. McDonald (left) approached Lee Harvey Oswald sitting in the seat pointed out in the picture below. McDonald ordered Oswald “Get on your feet.” At that, Oswald jumped up and said “This is it!” and pulled his pistol and tried to shoot McDonald. The gun did not fire as McDonald reached for it and the webbing of the skin between his thumb and index finger got jammed between the hammer and the firing pin.
This is the original headstone from Oswald’s grave. On November 22,1967 four years to the day of the Kennedy Assassination, two young men stole the stone and brought it back home with them to Bartlesville Oklahoma.
In the mean time, Marguerite Oswald, Lee’s mother, had a new one placed on his grave. To be less conspicuous, the marker she replaced it with is a simple plaque, about one foot by two feet, that says nothing more than “Oswald.” The original one read Lee Harvey Oswald, Oct. 18, 1939 - Nov. 24, 1963.
Some time later the old one got recovered and returned by the police to Marguerite. She had no basement and placed it under the crawl space of her house where it went unnoticed.
Marguerite died in 1981. Ironically, she was buried next to her son, Lee, and has no headstone. Her home got resold and some time passed before the new owners discovered it. In 2009 the husband passed away and the widow decided to donate it to Historic Auto Attractions which displays one of the largest collections of Kennedy Artifacts in the world. So the stone is now part of our collection for all to see.
