A Very Modern Bicycle
A Very Modern Bicycle
Benjamin Bowden is credited with creating this prototype in 1946, which went on to evolve into the modern bicycle. The prototype was, in fact, ready in 1946, but production only began in 1960 and only 522 bicycles were produced. One of these would set you back $89.50 (in 1960 value). If you really wanted one of these vintage originals nowadays, they easily sell for $15,000! The bicycle is still futurist-looking by today’s standards.

JFK With His Daughter
Caroline Kennedy was just 3 years old when her father became President and she was almost 6 when he was assassinated. The next year, his widow Jackie moved into a penthouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with her two children. This beautiful domestic scene showed a more human side to the now legendary president. While growing up without a father must have been difficult, Caroline still lived in extravagant wealth.
