Former U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald's, wedding ring has been sold at a Boston auction for USD 108,000.

RR Auction said Oswald's gold wedding band was sold to a buyer from Texas, News.com.au reports.

According to the report, Oswald's widow had agreed to put it up for auction in Boston on Thursday, where almost 300 items linked to Kennedy's life were put up for sale.

Oswald left the ring in a cup on the dresser on the morning of the assassination, the report added.

November 22 marks Kennedy's 50th death anniversary after he was assassinated in 1963 in downtown Dallas.
