Title:
Benjamin Harrison Cut Signature – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic Auto (Cert #85800975)

Description:
Offered here is a cut signature of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States, penned in dark ink on a clipped portion of a larger document. The signature, “Benj Harrison,” is written in a refined cursive hand, consistent with Harrison’s known autograph style. Notably, the fragment includes partial text above the signature reading “hundred and thirteenth,” and the piece was clipped from a document signed during his presidency, adding important historical context and desirability. The paper exhibits moderate toning and scattered spotting from age, though the signature itself remains bold and clearly legible. The piece is securely encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder for preservation and display. The reverse is blank.

Historical Context:
Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901), grandson of President William Henry Harrison, served as the 23rd President of the United States from 1889 to 1893. His administration was marked by significant legislative achievements, including the Sherman Antitrust Act, the first federal effort to curb monopolies, and the McKinley Tariff. Harrison also presided over the admission of six new states into the Union, more than any other president since George Washington. His presidency reflects a period of industrial growth and evolving federal authority in the late 19th century. Autographs from Harrison, particularly those tied to presidential-era documents, offer collectors a tangible link to this transformative era in American history.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
This signature has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA and is designated as “Authentic Auto” under certification number 85800975. The tamper-evident slab ensures both the authenticity and long-term preservation of the autograph while providing excellent display quality.

• Additional Documentation & Provenance: At buyer’s request, Historical Autographs Gallery will include an additional “Historical Autographs Gallery Certificate” signed by our company founder Luke Pascal at no cost.

Closing Appeal:
Benjamin Harrison’s presidency represents a pivotal period of economic expansion and legislative progress. This authenticated cut signature—distinctly clipped from a presidentially signed document—offers both visual appeal and enhanced historical significance, making it a compelling addition to any presidential autograph collection.
