The Man Behind Many JFK Collectibles

Frank Allen Orofino (1910-2000) (known as "Frank Allen" professionally) was Chairman of the Board of Allen Dental-Medical Development Corp. in New York, a family friend, and an important public relations volunteer for John F. Kennedy's 1960 Presidential Campaign. He designed and produced countless P.T. Boat tie clips, campaign buttons, Kennedy sponges, posters, and even bottles of Jacqueline Kennedy perfume to help gain the attention of voters. Other eye-catching items he designed to promote the Kennedy candidacy were campaign hats, bumper stickers, pens, pencils, and jewelry items, among many other things. Frank Allen is pictured above in this 1959 photo. The Board of Director’s Room at his company was renamed the “Kennedy Room”, where he displayed one of each of the items he personally created for JFK’s presidential campaign.
