The silver pocket watch was a prized possession of Theodore Roosevelt, a keepsake given to him in 1898 before he became president that traveled with him around the world but was stolen in 1987.
The watch, with great sentimental value to Roosevelt, resurfaced at a Florida auction house after 36 years and was returned to public display at Sagamore Hill.
While the watch's reappearance brought joy to Roosevelt's great-grandson, the mystery of who stole it remains unsolved, with the FBI and Park Service not disclosing details of the investigation.
