An original Robert Spring forgery of a George Washington check, signed “Go. Washington,” 6 x 2.5, ordering the cashier of the Office of Discount and Deposit in Baltimore to pay the bearer $125.00. Elaborately and archivally double cloth matted with a Washington likeness and framed to an overall size of 17 x 21, with the reverse cut so the back of the check is visible. In very good condition, with expected cancellation cuts to body and moderate soiling. The English-born Spring forged letters and documents from luminaries including Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Horatio Nelson. This example serves as the ideal ‘place holder’ in a collection until a scarce, authentic Washington piece can be secured! Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
