Description

One of two known Chester A. Arthur free franks signed as president

Exceedingly rare full hand-addressed free frank by President Chester A. Arthur, penned on a 5.25 x 4.25 Executive Mansion envelope panel, addressed in Arthur's hand to “The Honorable George F. Edmunds, US Senate,” with Arthur adding “Answer” below and his initialed free frank above, “CAA.” In fine condition, with some old mounting residue on the back. Presidentially signed free franks from Chester A. Arthur are virtually unobtainable, with online research showing the sale of just one other example by Robert A. Siegel Auctions in August 2010. A considerably rare opportunity for presidential free frank collectors.
