Furniture, jewelry and cowboy boots are among the more than 700 personal items that once belonged to U.S. President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan set for sale by auctioneer Christie's in New York starting on Monday. "A lot of the things on sale went with them from California to the White House and then came home again." Nancy Reagan died in March while Ronald Reagan died in 2004. The auction is expected to generate more than $2 million dollars, with the money going to The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. The top lot of the sale is Mrs. Reagan's diamond and gold lion pendant necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels expected to sell for $30,000 to $50,000.
