<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1827625, member: 5833"]Fascinating. Not sure Mamie would have been allowed to keep it. Think gifts from foreign parties are considered property of the Office of the President of the US & warehoused. Unless there is an exception for gifts to the First Lady. Probably not. Does not appear to have been set for wear, so she was saved from having to sport it on her breast either way. Why is it that modern cameos of contemporary figures just do not have the life of Victorian cameos of Caesers?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
