Title:
Chester A. Arthur Signed Cut Signature – PSA/DNA Certified Encapsulated Autograph (Cert #85702006)
Description:
This refined cut signature features the autograph of President Chester A. Arthur, elegantly penned in brown ink on a small card. The signature, reading “C A Arthur,” is executed with graceful, flowing penmanship and occupies the center of the piece, showcasing Arthur’s distinctive and stylish hand.
The card exhibits moderate age toning consistent with late 19th-century paper, along with light corner wear and subtle surface impressions that enhance its authenticity. The ink remains well-preserved, with excellent legibility and attractive contrast against the aged background.
The reverse side shows minor remnants of prior mounting, now fully stabilized within the PSA/DNA encapsulation. The autograph is securely housed in a tamper-evident slab, ensuring both preservation and display quality.
Historical Context:
Chester A. Arthur served as the 21st President of the United States from 1881 to 1885, assuming office following the assassination of President James A. Garfield. Initially associated with the Stalwart faction of the Republican Party and the patronage system, Arthur surprised many by championing civil service reform during his presidency.
His administration is most notably remembered for the passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883, which marked a significant step toward merit-based government appointments. Arthur’s presidency represented a turning point in the fight against political corruption and patronage, helping to reshape the structure of the federal government.
Authentic signatures of Arthur are increasingly desirable, particularly those that clearly display his elegant handwriting style, as seen in this example.
Authentication & Encapsulation:
This autograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, a leading authority in autograph verification. The certification number 85702006 is clearly displayed on the slab label, confirming its authenticity. The tamper-evident holder ensures long-term protection while allowing full visibility of both the front and reverse of the piece.
- 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:
A beautifully executed presidential autograph, this Chester A. Arthur signed cut offers collectors a tangible connection to a pivotal era of political reform in American history. With its elegant presentation, strong signature, and PSA/DNA authentication, it stands as a compelling addition to any presidential autograph or 19th-century historical collection.
