Item Details
Description
A bronze-colored cast metal ashtray from the Wardroom of the U.S.S. J. P. Kennedy Jr. DD-850, a Gearing-class Destroyer named after Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., a naval aviator and older brother to future President John F. Kennedy. Weighing nearly two pounds, this heavy duty 4.2" x 6" ashtray was crafted for the commissioned officers' mess on board the U.S.S. J. P. Kennedy.

These items come directly from the Hirschy family. Lieutenant Hirschy was Supply and Logistics Officer for the Military Aides to the President and Officer-in-Charge of the Navy Mess in the White House during both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His duties also included taking care of the President’s needs on overseas trips, aboard the presidential yachts and at Camp David. Lt. Hirschy served in the White House from May 1, 1961 through May 31, 1965.
