It's not the camera she used as the "Inquiring Camera Girl." They may be hoping people will assume it's the camera she used before she married JFK, but they don't actually claim that. The eBay page says the camera was manufactured between 1965 and 1968; owned & used by Jacqueline Kennedy. She

Thanks for the update, ann. Sorry to hear you suffer so much in the heat, it certainly isn't easy. It makes me angry on behalf of Americans that older people don't get free public transport, especially in a global city like NYC. In London you get it when you're 60, even if you're in full-time
