I won these a bit by accident, aiming for the FDR cufflinks instead. Then I learned that he wore cufflinks all the time, strangely like me, and so I found many examples, below.

backstory on these cuffs
from RR Auction: “’The pair of raised gold seal V. P. cuff links were owned and worn by President-Elect George Bush during his campaign for the Presidency. As a member of the N. S. C. staff for more than ten years, it has been my honor to work for Vice President and President-Elect George Bush as well as Presidents Carter and Reagan.’ These personal cufflinks, owned by George H. W. Bush, are a bit more expensive and attractive than the presidential set he sometimes wore."

Me too! I wear cufflinks pretty much every day at work (more fun than a tie), and I have disassembled pairs of similar Canon cameras to make geek-chic cufflinks… The irridescent CCD imager is like the finest gemstone, bottom here, with teardown
These are some of my other techcycled cufflinks:
and a set I made from core memory fabric 
and I was wondering if any of the crack flickr visual search experts could find examples of Bush wearing them in 1988… =)
