Here is the lot description along with details about eight other items that may appeal to early Americana. The electronic form of this catalogue conveys this importance of this sale.
We are pleased to offer for auction the only located privately held Official Signed Ratification Copy of the United States Constitution. Among the most important documents ever offered at auction, this humble looking document is the very cornerstone of our democracy. This nine lot auction also includes an important 1776 first draft of the Articles of Confederation; a Charles Thomson Signed Congressional Ordinance Defining His Own Duties; a period copy of Emanuel Leutze’s iconic Washington Crossing the Delaware; and five other important early American documents.
