War-dated partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 15.75 x 19.25, May 18, 1864. President Lincoln appoints Michael Bradley an “Assistant Surgeon on the Navy.” Signed at the conclusion by Lincoln, and countersigned by Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Intersecting folds, scattered creases and wrinkles, scattered light toning and soiling, Welles’s signature light, but mostly legible, and some light skipping to Lincoln’s signature, and several small holes above top vignette, otherwise very good condition. The orange naval seal at the bottom is soiled and worn, but intact. Both surgical and naval presidential appointments are highly collectible; this one, combining both areas and made even more desirable by the particular president who signed it, is a perfect storm!
