Splendid William Penn Document Signed
<B>Splendid William Penn Document Signed,</B></I> "<I>Wm Penn</B></I>", manuscript on vellum, one page with docketing, 11" x 10.5", Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 12, 1684. A very early land grant for a tract of land in Chester is here conveyed to one Robert Wade. Penn's signature is on the upturned bottom fold to the left of a red wax seal affixed to a hanger. Aging as expected, yet sound and in very good condition. 17th century American documents are quite scarce in their own right with this one being embellished by its association with one of colonial America's best known personalities. <I>Ex. Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
