These plastic press passes are inscribed with the names of Mr & Mrs Kennedy and Johnson and offer a fascinating glimpse into an alternate history.

We have this original poster from Kennedy's 1960 leadership campaign available.
Other lots in the sale include a travel pass signed by Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi who was one of the chief architects of the holocaust.
The pass (which carries a minimum bid of $8,500) is dated May 14, 1943 and was issued to a soldier named Paul Wellnitz.
It authorises a transfer to the Stutthof concentration camp, where Wellnitz worked as a guard until the end of the war.
Wellnitz was among a large number of workers and officials sentenced to death at Nuremberg in 1947.
