The only known self-portrait of Adolf Hitler, penciled in 1916, failed to sell at an auction.
The self-portrait was expected to fetch $15,000 to $25,000, but no one met the minimum bid of $9,000 sought by auctioneer Herman Darvick.The three-quarter view shows Hitler at age 27, wearing a World War I uniform and carrying a dispatch bag.
A 1959 letter from Lee Harvey Oswald to his brother Robert sold for $15,400, the highest price paid at Thursday's auction.
Written in the Soviet Union after he renounced his U.S. citizenship, it reads: "I have chosen to remove all my ties with my past, so I will not write again, nor do I wish you to try and contact me. I am starting a new life and I do not wish to have anything to do with the old life."
It was sold to Anthony Pugliese, who last December paid $220,000 for the gun Jack Ruby used to kill Oswald.
