Sought-after ink signature, "Attest, David Crockett,” on an off-white 5.5 x 1.75 slip clipped from an 1833 bill of sale. In very good to fine condition, with light soiling and uneven edges. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
Accompanied by an ALS by his son Robert Patton Crockett, signed "R. P. Crockett," one page, 8 x 6.75, November 7, 1873, in full: "In compliance with your request I here inclose you my Father's signature cut from an old bill of sale written in the year 1833 this is a true sketch of his hand writing."
