Partly-printed DS one page, 13 x 16.25, March 3, 1789. Ship’s register for the Schooner Sally, owned by Ebenezer Caldwell, built in Ipswich. Signed on the left side, “John Hancock,” countersigned by John Avery, and also signed by Caldwell. Intersecting folds, a couple passing through single letters of signature, scattered toning and creasing, and several tape repairs to folds on reverse, otherwise very good condition. The paper seals are toned and creased, but intact, and Hancock’s signature remains crisp and bold. In 1776, Caldwell served in Colonel Edward Mitchell’s regiment of minutemen with both Captain John Ames and Captain Eliakim Howard. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
