also, FDR did not contract polio until he was 39 and lived a normal healthy life before theat!. A previous post states he had the disease as a child!.

I am fortunate enough to own one of his canes!.!.!.which I would never part with!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most compelling personal evidence of Roosevelt was that he had had polio as a child and walked with crutches or a cane and later was confined to a wheel chair!. He wore glasses but they weren't unique, he wore a fedora but a lot of men did then!. I would say besides his affliction his most notable personal "artifact" would be his wife Eleanor who made quite a name for herself as well!.

He is noted for his speeches so a microphone might be a prop as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
