Ronald Reagan's putter to hit auction block on Fox Nation
The Fox Nation series 'Selling History' showcases American artifacts that will be going up for auction.
A new Fox Nation series, "Selling History," is showing off remarkable examples of Americana and rare artifacts.
RR Auction vice president Bobby Livingston joins host Jon Scott in seeking some of the nation’s most prized historical treasures to be auctioned off live on Fox Nation on June 23.
The series, streaming now on Fox Nation, opens with former President Ronald Reagan’s putter — which could be worth a fortune.

"Presidential memorabilia is rare," Livingston explains.

President Reagan was famously photographed while putting on a strip of green aboard Air Force One, as he and his administration set out for the Geneva Summit that sought to end the Cold War in 1985.
William Martin, special assistant to President Reagan, told Fox Nation that the 40th president encouraged his team to be relaxed before touching down at the historic meeting, which brought the putter into play.

The rose, owned by the family of Dallas reporter Jay Watson, told Livingston it came from the bouquet Jackie Kennedy was handed when she touched down in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 — the day Camelot came to an end.
