An Unopened Box of Warren G. Magnuson Handkerchiefs Featuring his Embroidered WMG Monogram
New York: A. Sulka & Company, (1965). In Original Parcel Packaging as Shipped from New York to Washington, DC. A box of 25 handkerchiefs sent by US Postal Service to US Senator Warren G. Magnuson in original packaging, unopened. Item #3419 Senator Magnuson was one of two senators from Washington State to earn the sobriquet "the Senator from Boeing," a tribute to his finesse in securing federal funding for the defense contractor. Please note: the images of the Sulka box and handkerchiefs are from a box previously opened. The box wrapped in parcel paper may well contain monograms in green, red or some other colored thread. We do not suggest Magnuson was dirty; on the contrary, his biographer, Shelby Scates, compliments his rectitude. That said, if the handkerchiefs happened to be a gift, did the person or entity giving Magnuson the gift know he was untouchable? Or does the box contain stacks of C-notes?
The handkerchiefs were made by A. Sulka & Company (1893–2002), the French haberdashery that featured stores in Paris, London, New York, etc. The box was sent from their New York store to "Maggie," as he was known to his constituents, at his DC apartment at the Shoreham.
