DALLAS — President Franklin D. Roose- velt’s trademark fedora, the last check he ever signed and watercolor sketches for the unfinished portrait he sat for on the day he died are among hundreds of artifacts and documents headed for the auction block. The items from the life of the 32nd president come from the private collection of Joseph and Deborah Plaud of Whitinsville, Mass.
Some experts consider Plauds’ collection to be the largest in private hands. It’s being sold in two installments. The first auction is set for June 7.
