HISTORIC \"FINAL SALUTE\" JOHN F. KENNEDY JR NEWSPAPER PRINTING PLATES- DAILY NEWS For Sale

HISTORIC \"FINAL SALUTE\" JOHN F. KENNEDY JR NEWSPAPER PRINTING PLATES- DAILY NEWS
A newspaper printing plate from the historic Daily News coverage of John F. Kennedy Jr.\'s salute (\"We Carry On\" / \"The Final Salute\") is valuable because it is a one-of-a-kind physical artifact used in the actual mechanical printing process of an iconic, culturally defining image. Why the John F. Kennedy Jr. \"The Final Salute\" Printing Plates Hold High Value

• Unique Artifact: Unlike the millions of printed newspapers distributed to the public, only a very small number of physical metal plates (often just one or two per page layout) were ever cast or engraved to run on the massive rotary presses.
• Direct Historical Connection: The metal plate bears the exact reversed typographic and photographic mold used in the physical printing process of that historic edition, making it the literal source from which the news was broadcast to the world.
• Rarity and Scarcity: Printing plates were routinely recycled, melted down, or discarded after a press run was completed. Surviving plates saved by pressmen or newspaper employees as mementos are exceptionally rare.
• The Power of the Subject: Items tied to the tragedy of JFK Jr.—who captured the nation\'s heart from his father\'s 1963 funeral salute onward to his own untimely 1999 plane crash—command intense interest from historical and Kennedy-family memorabilia collectors
