A pocket watch that once belonged to Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt has been returned to his New York home after being stolen decades ago and resurfacing at an auction, as reported by the FBI and the National Park Service.
The watch was a gift from Roosevelt’s sister, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, and his brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson Jr., just before he departed for the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898. Inscribed on the inside of the watch are the words: “THEODORE ROOSEVELT FROM D.R. AND C.R.R.”
