Details:

Sam Ruby autographed sympathy card acknowledging condolences sent following the death of his brother, Jack Ruby, the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963. The card bears Sam Ruby’s handwritten signature, reading in part: “The family of Jack Ruby acknowledges with deep appreciation your kind expression of sympathy.”

The card is accompanied by its original mailing envelope, postmarked Chicago, Illinois, March 1, 1967, and addressed in Sam Ruby’s hand. The inclusion of the original envelope provides strong period context and confirms contemporary mailing during the years immediately following Jack Ruby’s death.

Sam Ruby was Jack Ruby’s brother and a frequent public defender of Jack’s state of mind after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He remained involved in correspondence, interviews, and legal discussions related to his brother’s case throughout the 1960s. Signed material from Sam Ruby is scarce, particularly items directly tied to Jack Ruby’s death and its aftermath.

This is a compelling piece of post-assassination ephemera linking directly to the Ruby family and the enduring historical impact of November 1963.

Fine condition.
