Provenance:  We, the current sellers, purchased this item from an auction held by University Archives (universityarchives.com), owned by the world renowned collector John Reznikoff. This piece was originally from the collection of Elisa Sullivan (1935-2012), Jackie's mother's personal caregiver and companion. Elisa Sullivan had started working as a caregiver for Jackie's mother Janet Bouvier Auchincloss (1907-1989) in 1979, after the former First Lady's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. After Jackie's death in 1994, Elisa worked for Jackie's half-brother Hugh "Yusha" Auchincloss III (1927-2015) as a book-keeper, house-keeper, and chef at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, Rhode Island.
