Rutherford B. Hayes Signed Naval Appointment
Beckett Precertified - Framed Ready for Display
I have owned this wonderful R. B. Hayes signed Naval Appointment for fifteen years and am now selling it to someone who I hope will enjoy it on their wall as much as I did.
This is an appointment naming Robert Peck to Lieutenant in the Navy and is dated December 17, 1878.  In addition to Haye's signature the document has also been signed by R.W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy.
There is a wonderful vignette of Poseidon and sea nymphs that adds to the beauty of this document with the blue seal in excellent condition.  There is nominal to no age toning present with usual folds that are not detracting.  The Hayes signature is somewhat light but fully legible.   The document was framed with UV resistant glass and has been handsomely matted with a black frame surrounding.
I do have a Beckett pre-certification certificate which indicates the document is likely to pass full authentication.  In fact, I guarantee it or your money will be refunded.  I allow 30 days for authentication.
A document of this quality is sure to please and I have priced it hundreds below fair retail.   Please feel free to reach me with any questions.   48 state shipping only.
