Jack Kerouac's Travel Toiletry Kit
A travel toiletry kit personally owned and worn by Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), the famous American writer who brought us On The Road (1957). Provenance: The piece will be accompanied by an estate certification signed by John Shen-Sampas, executor of the Kerouac Estate by descent. John Shen-Sampas is the son of John Sampas, who was the brother-in-law of Jack Kerouac, and the brother of Stella Kerouac, Jack's wife.
Though one might not have expected a rugged road traveler like Kerouac to carry such articles as an overnight toiletry kit, he almost certainly did. The lot includes a 13-pc travel toiletry kit contained in a zippered red case. Instruments contained within include German-blade scalpels, cuticle scissors, and picks. Missing three pieces. Expected light surface wear to the case, 8" x 4.75" x .5".
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
