George Washington Multi-Signed Historical Ledger Sheet – Dated October 1788. Presenting a singularly rare and historically significant piece of Americana: a meticulously preserved ledger sheet dating to the critical post-Revolutionary War period, showcasing the original signatures and initials of the first President of the United States, George Washington. This document represents a deep connection to the early days of American governance and economy, denoting Washington's engagement with day-to-day operations of his estate and affairs in the nascent republic, a tangible piece of history signed multiple times during the defining era of the United States' formation. Historical Significance: This ledger sheet emerges from an era when George Washington transitioned from victorious general to a statesman steering the young nation. Dated October 25th and 26th of 1788, it places us in the immediate aftermath of the Constitutional Convention, just months before Washington's inauguration as President. The ledger entries, initialed and signed by Washington, coincide with a time when he was preparing to form a "more perfect Union." Item Composition: Authentic ledger sheet sized 17 x 11 inches. Front Date: Thursday, 25th October 1788 – Signed "G Washington" five times. Back Date: Friday, 26th October 1788 – Signed "G Washington" twice. Total Initials: Recorded as Washington's initials "G.W." five times on the front, and four times on the back. Ledger Entries: The document includes numerous entries detailing financial transactions or notes related to Washington's business affairs. Auction Value Estimate: Autographs of George Washington are highly prized and even more so when they appear in multiples on a single historical document that Washington would have personally handled. Conservatively, such a document could command an auction value of 150,000-300,000. However, given the number of signatures, the very personal nature of the document, and its excellent state of preservation, it would not be unforeseen for final gavel prices to reach or surpass these estimates, depending on the level of interest and the market's appetite for items of such prestige and significance. Accompanied by authentication documents verifying the signatures and handwriting as those of George Washington. Special Notes: The condition of the ledger is critical; we recommend interested parties to examine high-resolution photos or to view the item personally by appointment.
