Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:23817041 |
The land is identified as "the North East quarter of Section twenty-four in Township Twenty of Range th...irteen East of the second principle meridian line containing one hundred and sixty acres”. The document is printed on vellum and is boldly signed in brown ink “James Monroe" at the lower right hand corner.
This Land Grant was signed by President James Monroe himself and the signature is not a secretarial or proxy. It was not until the middle of the Andrew Jackson administration that the task of signing Land Grants was relegated to the Commissioner of the General Land Office and this James Monroe signature is 100%, unconditionally guaranteed authentic and in the hand of the President himself.
This very rare, Pres. James Monroe, Signed Document is in very good condition. The signature of Pres. Monroe is quite large and attractive although slightly faded. The document is printed on heavy vellum stock and exhibits the usual horizontal and vertical creases found on Land Grants of this period. The sheet is generally clean with some toning and foxing as well as darkening along the vertical creases as can be seen in the scans below. The Document retains the original affixed, embossed seal at the lower left hand corner. All of the manuscript entries are easily readable. Overall this is a well preserved example of a wonderful President James Monroe signed Document that displays beautifully.
A very rare and very desirable, 1820 President James Monroe signature / autograph on an Ohio Land Grant and a fantastic addition to any collection!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
