Choice partly-printed DS one page, 15 x 12, September 10, 1790. Hancock appoints Joseph Shiverick as “Ensign of a Company in the first Regiment third Brigade and fifth Division of the militia of this Commonwealth comprehending the Counties of Plimouth, Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes County & Nantucket.” Attractively signed on the left side by Hancock as governor of Massachusetts and countersigned at the conclusion by John Avery. Nicely double-matted and framed to an overall size of 24 x 21.5. Paper seal affixed above Hancock’s signature remains quite crisp and fully intact. In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through first letter of his last name), mild toning, and a few tiny holes. An especially clean and appealing Hancock document. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
