Description

Superlative exemplar of America’s most famous signature

Bold ink signature, “John Hancock,” on an off-white 3.5 x 6.25 slip removed from a larger document. Docketing to reverse dates it to a commission of February 2, 1792. Large, complete Massachusetts seal is affixed to the top. In fine condition, with mild scattered toning, a few tiny tears to the right edge, and a couple creases to the paper seal. Accompanied by an engraved portrait of Hancock. One of the finest Hancocks we have offered in years. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
