Neal Auction presents
Presidential Memorabilia & Coins from the Estate of Jack Walter Winover
ONLINE-ONLY
OCTOBER 27, 2021
Neal Auction Company is pleased to present the lifelong collection of Presidential Memorabilia & Coins from the estate of Jack Walter Winover (1969-2019) A former Louisiana resident, Jack spent his youth in Baton Rouge nurturing a love for history, studying handwriting, and collecting autographs. At a young age, Jack developed an intense admiration and deep sense of love for his country and, eventually, began a collection of presidential memorabilia. A devastating injury in his teenage years did not stop Jack from becoming an Eagle Scout, graduating from the University of Arkansas, or focusing on his dream of assembling a large collection of autographs, ephemera, portraits, stamps, coins, paper money, and other memorabilia relating to the presidents of the United States. He thoughtfully curated the organization and design of the collection by having each president represented independently within a beautiful custom-made shadow box. Jack was taken from this world early in life but left a legacy which we hope will be enjoyed by many.
