For your consideration: A vintage March 9, 1799 one page (15.75" x 9") Revolutionary Leader John Jay Signed Document. American statesman (1745-1829) who served variously as President of the Continental Congress, diplomat, and, from 1789 to 1795 as the First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This one page parchment is an appointment for Andrew Graham to the position of Justice "to keep our peace in the said County of Orange (New York)." Boldly signed at the bottom in black ink by Jay this document is definitely in Fine condition with typical intersecting storage folds and the blue ribbon seal still colorful and firmly attached. Small stains to bottom and top edges slightly affecting a few areas of the text (as would be expected on an over 200 year old document). Overall the document is in Fine condition. Both rare and unique (since it is signed by one of the most notable Founding Fathers and subsequently the First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) this is truly an investment quality piece. American Founding Fathers signatures don't come up often on Ebay. Great for the Early Americana, Founding Fathers, Supreme Court/Legal, or vintage New York memorabilia collector/enthusiast. The pictures tell the story. Provenance includes a February 2008 PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity from John Reznikoff (as seen in photo). Any item deemed not to be authentic will be refunded for the full purchase price within 120 days (provided the piece is returned in the condition in which it was sold). Any questions (or if you'd just like to tender an offer) don't ever hesitate to contact me. Thanks for looking.
