This unique group of items is united by one overarching theme: Ayn Rand's love of cats.

The first item is a sterling silver winking cat pin owned by Ayn Rand. The item donor saw Ayn Rand wear this pin while attending her nonfiction writing course. The pin's diameter is approximately 2". The back is imprinted:

JoPol is for Joan Polsdorfer, the first American jewelry designer to work for Georg Jensen. Georg Jensen is a Danish company founded in 1904, known for its craftsmanship and elegant Scandinavian design. The pin's patina has not been removed. A small black velvet display case included.

The second item is a kitten handkerchief measuring 11" square. The handkerchief has been carefully stitched onto a black velvet background and framed for display. Framed with a minimalist black and silver frame using archival materials. The overall dimensions of this deluxe framed piece are approximately 18" by 18".

The third and last item is an original Julius Shulman photographic print. This print was obtained directly from his studio and bears a Shulman-inscribed catalog number. Since Shulman's death in 2009, his photo archive has been relocated to the Getty Research Institute.

The photograph of Ayn Rand and Frank O'Connor was taken in 1947. They are standing on a patio of the Richard Neutra-designed von Sternberg house, built in 1934 in Chatsworth, California. Ayn can be seen holding one of her beloved cats. This print is also framed with a black velvet mat and minimalist black and silver frame (using archival materials). The overall dimensions of this deluxe framed piece are 16 1/2" by 14 1/2".

Includes a letter of provenance for the pin and the handkerchief, signed by Leonard Peikoff.

This original oil painting by Sylvia Bokor was completed in 1984. Titled The City, it is oil on illustration board.

It was professionally cleaned and re-varnished in 2019. Framed in an eye-catching metallic blue-green and lustrous silver with mitered corners, using archival quality materials.

The overall dimensions of this deluxe framed piece are approximately 28" by 20".

Originally won at an ARI auction in 1987, Ayn Rand's copy of Henry Hazlitt's The Great Idea was donated back to ARI and is now available again for the first time in more than 30 years.

This book contains more than four dozen pages of penciled comments in Ayn Rand's distinctive handwriting. Ayn Rand marginalia books rarely surface, and this one has an impeccable provenance.

Economics fans will be thrilled to see her outraged comments in the section discussing Marx's "unworkable dictum." In other places she blasts Hazlitt's equivocating language or takes umbrage at a depiction of "cupidity."

There is one small "page turning" tear at the middle bottom of pp. 319/320. Both the recto and verso of this leaf are heavily annotated, so it may have been torn by Ayn Rand, working in haste.

The poor condition original dust jacket has been protected with a Brodart cover for safe handling. Housed in a custom blue and white clamshell case that plays off the cover colors.

This is a limited edition giclée on canvas of The Romantic Manifesto cover illustration by Nick Gaetano. It was reprinted in 2018 in anticipation of the book's upcoming 50th anniversary. This is number 15 out of 150.

The print has been framed using archival materials, with an inner frame chosen to reflect the sweeping curvature of both the wings and the clouds. The iridescent metal outer frame precisely matches the blue sky background when viewed at the correct angle.

Many versions of the paperback copy have faded over the years, but the Spanish hardcover nearly matches the depth of these beautiful colors.

The overall dimensions of this deluxe framed piece are 22" by 32".

New American Library, New York, 1966. Limited first edition, issued with a slipcase in lieu of a dust jacket. Signed by Ayn Rand, number 133 of 700 signed copies.

Near fine in a fair slipcase. The slipcase has done its job of protecting the book over the years, and displays visible toning and foxing. The book is in excellent condition. A minor manufacturing flaw at the bottom of page 161 has been professionally repaired.

This collection of 22 essays includes 16 by Ayn Rand. Additional contributions include three essays by Alan Greenspan, two by Nathaniel Branden, and one by Robert Hessen.
