It's been a while since I saw one come up for sale, and it sold well out of my budget anyway. So, this one was perfect as it's the ticket I wanted, and the fading kept the price in an affordable range for an authentic Washington signature.
That was a break to catch Washington in an affordable range.
I have Jefferson+Madison land grant, Madison+Monroe land grant, JQ Adams land grant, Jackson land grant, Lincoln on a military appt. , TR Wh House card, FDR photo, and 3 JFK's an AP with his brothers, Wh House letter and congressional letter. Hope to get lucky with Washington and Adams at some point. I only collect the Presidents I think were good ones . I guess maybe I should add Wilson too.
A woman contacted me a while back via e mail, had the Jefferson and a Madison. I knew immediately where on my wall that Jeff would go .
