American patriot and metalsmith (1735–1818) whose 1775 “Midnight Ride” to warn of an impending British invasion later became one of the most celebrated incidents of the Revolutionary War. Rare partial self-contained ADS, one page, 5 x 1.75, dated at the top in another hand “1785.” Brief document reads, “Acct to pay at time mentioned within,” and signed at the conclusion “Paul Revere.” Nicely double matted and framed with a portrait of Revere, to an overall size of 14 x 20.25. In very good condition, with two vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered light toning and soiling, two rough edges, and show-through from writing on reverse. Following the war, Revere set his sights on silver work, opening an iron and brass foundry in the North End of Boston. One of early American history’s most sought after autographs. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
