Fantastic display consisting of a scarce full ink signature, “George Washington,” on an off-white 3.25 x .5 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 a lock of 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 14.5 x 15.25. In very good to fine condition, with toning and slight paper loss to slip. Complete Washington signatures are seldom seen.
