Description

George Washington: Robert Spring

An original Robert Spring forgery of a George Washington check, signed “Go: Washington,” 6 x 2.5, ordering the cashier of the Office of Discount and Deposit in Baltimore to pay the bearer $125.00. Elaborately and archivally double-cloth-matted and framed, so both sides may be viewed, with a portrait of Washington to an overall size of 17 x 21. In very good condition, with expected cancellation cuts to body, three vertical folds, and moderate soiling. The English-born Spring forged letters and documents from luminaries including Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Horatio Nelson. This example serves as the ideal ‘place holder’ in a collection until a scarce, authentic Washington piece can be secured! Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
