Garfield & Arthur Signatures 1881
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
James Garfield signature, ''James A. Garfield - May 5, 1881'' as President, and Chester Arthur signature, ''C. A. Arthur - May 6, 1881'' as Vice President. Both signatures are large and are written in dark ink on matching signature album pages measuring 4.75'' x 7.5''. The timing of Garfield's signature is particularly interesting as it coincides with the day he stood up to the New York Republican machine, led by Senator Roscoe Conkling, regarding political appointments. Near fine condition.
