Two flags that flew from the convertible President Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 sold at an auction Saturday for $450,000. The American flag and banner bearing the presidential seal were among the most-sought items at the three-day auction of memorabilia from the lives of John and Jacqueline Kennedy. Guernsey's auction house in New York declined to identify the buyer. The auction, which concluded Saturday, included a wide array of items from restaurant bills to campaign posters and buttons to crayons used by a young Caroline Kennedy. According to the New York Daily News, some items went for as little as $120 on Thursday, and a number of lots - such as a 1950 Kiwanis Club certificate - failed to sell.
