Description
A cut piece of a fence formerly located around the infamous "grassy knoll" in Dealey Plaza, salvaged by a fence worker tasked with removing it, measuring approximately 1.25" x .75." Encapsulated by CAG to the overall size of 2.25" x 3.25". The relic is accompanied by a pair of photocopied letters from the worker afore mentioned, Brian Fredenberg, one dated January 13, 2000, and the other March 7, 2022, which describes firsthand how he came into acquiring the pieces. An excerpt from the latter reads in part: "On January 11, 2000, the company that I work for, J&M Fence was contracted by the city of Dallas to remove a wooden picket/stockade fence that was located on a grassy hill situated on the northwest of Dealey Plaza…. It was behind the fence that I dismantled that many still feel the real assassin fired the fateful shots that killed John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963… Most of the pickets had been replaced sometime between 1963 and 2000; and on my particular section, the replacement pickets are stained a greyish shade and are also very flat… The brackets and posts are original to the date of the assassination." Since the fateful day of November 22, 1963, conspiracy theorists have flocked to the assassination of John F. Kennedy as a matter of contention. One such theory maintains that while Lee Harvey Oswald was firing three shots at President Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, a second gunman was taking aim from behind the picket fence located on the grassy hill of Dealey Plaza. This location became famously known as the "grassy knoll", and indeed would hold compelling evidence for the Warren Commission's investigation in the form of Marianne Moorman's iconic photograph.
