Tractor, Teapot on List of Nine Gifts to Reagans

WASHINGTON — President Reagan accepted gifts worth $12,896 last year, including a footstool from Vice President George Bush, a used tractor from friends and horse-stall nameplates from Secret Service agents who help guard his California ranch.

In all, nine gifts were listed in the annual financial disclosure report of Reagan and his wife, Nancy, released Wednesday by the White House. The report, which requires the disclosure of gifts worth more than $100, showed that the First Lady accepted gifts valued at $910.

The report also showed that the President received at least $250,000 last year--and possibly much more--by liquidating a bank trust he established two decades ago.

The footstool the President received from Bush was valued at $135, while the tractor and related equipment, given by 31 friends, was valued at $10,065.

Secret Service Gift

The horse-stall nameplates, along with a sweater, carried a combined value of $116 and were given by 100 members of the Secret Service presidential protective division staff, the report said.

Reagan also received a 1932 class ring from Eureka College, worth $465, from the school’s student body.

Henry Salvatori, a Los Angeles oilman, and his wife gave the President an air compressor valued at $450. A pair of leather gloves, valued at $165, was given by George Murphy, the former actor and U.S. senator for California, and his wife of Palm Beach, Fla.

John G. Mahler of Dallas gave the President a leather briefcase worth $1,500, the report said.

Teapot for First Lady

Mrs. Reagan received an antique teapot worth $800 from former film director and producer Mervyn LeRoy and his wife of Beverly Hills, Calif. She also received a porcelain ink pot worth $110 from 33 members and volunteers on her staff.
