The Federal Bureau of Investigation has recovered Theodore Roosevelt's pocket watch stolen 36 years ago, a historic artifact with sentimental value and a witness to significant events during his lifetime.
The watch, made with an inexpensive silver case, accompanied Roosevelt during the Battle of San Juan Hill and his presidency, making it a priceless presidential timepiece.
Sagamore Hill Museum considers the watch a priceless artifact belonging to the nation, having traveled thousands of miles over the last 126 years.
The watch, initially loaned to a museum in 1971, was stolen in 1987 and recently reappeared in Florida, significant after decades of unsuccessful recovery attempts led by the FBI and local police.
