"When he became President, Johnson ordered a variety of objects to present to visitors and special quests. He kept a selection of appropriate gifts in a special ‘giveaway’ drawer in his desk in the Oval Office.

These ‘giveaways’ ranged in quantity and quality from cigarette lighters, pens, and small pocket knives to Accutron clocks, marble and silver bookends in slipcase, and gold Rolex watches. Other gifts included medallions, small-scale reproductions of a sculptured portrait by Jimilu Mason, autographed photographs, photo albums, Western hats, and cuff links—both solid gold and gold-plated.
