Partly-printed vellum DS as president, three pages on two sheets, 10.75 x 14.25, March 27, 1832. President Jackson grants a patent to Philo C. Curtis, who “has invented a new and useful improvement in the Construction of a back for a Forge & for most other fires where a blast is needed.” Boldly signed at the conclusion by Jackson, and countersigned by Secretary of State Edward Livingston and Attorney General Roger B. Taney. Retains white paper seal and ribbons affixed to the lower left. Attached by its original ribbon to a page with Curtis’s detailed handwritten description of the improvement on both sides, signed at the conclusion by Curtis and the commissioner of patents. Intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), overall wrinkling, and scattered staining and soiling (particularly to final page, making it difficult to read a portion of Curtis’s description of the invention), otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
