RR Auction George Washington Signature With A swatch of his cloak and hair lock

Fantastic display consisting of a scarce full ink signature, “George Washington,” on an off-white 3.25 x 1 slip clipped from a larger document. Signature was part of a large March 17, 1769, indenture between Washington and Robert Thompson. Also included is a .5 x .75 swatch of Washington’s cloak from the family of Colonel Tobias Lear, Washington’s personal secretary and good friend; and six strands of Washington’s hair from the Custis-Powell family. All three items are nicely cloth matted and framed, with a color portrait of Washington and a descriptive plaque, to an overall size of 14.75 x 15.25. In very good condition, with moderate toning to slip, not affecting legibility of the signature. Complete Washington signatures are seldom seen. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
