Remarkably clean partly-printed DS as president, signed “Franklin Pierce,” one page, 16.25 x 12.25, December 31, 1855. The president appoints “Jonathan S. Jenkins of California…Consul of the United States of America for the Port of Apia, Navigator’s Islands.” Countersigned by Secretary of State M. L. Marcy. Large Seal of the United States intact. Double-matted with a small portrait to an overall size of 30.5 x 20. Glass on the reverse allows for the reviewing of the document’s opposite side which bears attestation by Jenkins swearing to fulfill his duties. Intersecting folds, two vertical folds passing through his name, brush to his name, scattered mild staining, and areas of separation along a couple of the folds, otherwise fine condition. A highly unusual and fresh copy of a Pierce presidential appointment. Oversized.
