Owned items by U.S. presidents are very rare and highly sought-after, especially when it's one of the more interesting and controversial presidents. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, began his presidency a month prior to the ending of World War Two after succeeding Franklin D. Roosevelt. Perhaps the most memorable act by Truman is the approval of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan – something that forever changed the world.
