Title:
Herbert Hoover Cut Signature – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic Auto (Cert #85800185)

Description:
Offered here is an original cut signature of Herbert Hoover, executed in dark ink on a small section of light-toned paper. The autograph reads in full: “Herbert Hoover,” presented in a clean, flowing hand with strong pen pressure and excellent legibility. The signature displays Hoover’s characteristic slanted script, with a prominent capital “H” and well-formed surname.

The paper shows mild, even toning consistent with age, along with a small area of discoloration visible on the reverse, likely from prior mounting or album removal. Despite this, the front remains highly presentable, with the signature standing out clearly against the background. The piece has been professionally encapsulated by PSA/DNA, ensuring both preservation and authenticity.

Historical Context:
Herbert Hoover (1874–1964), the 31st President of the United States, served from 1929 to 1933 during one of the most challenging periods in American history—the onset of the Great Depression. Prior to his presidency, Hoover gained international recognition as a humanitarian and engineer, organizing large-scale relief efforts during and after World War I that saved millions from famine.

Although his presidency is often associated with the economic hardships of the early 1930s, Hoover’s earlier reputation as a skilled administrator and global humanitarian made him one of the most respected figures of his time. Autographs of Hoover remain desirable as tangible connections to both his presidency and his extensive pre- and post-presidential public service.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
This signature has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA and labeled “Authentic Auto,” with certification number 85800185. The tamper-evident PSA holder provides secure, archival protection while clearly displaying the autograph.

• 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 well-preserved Herbert Hoover signature offers collectors a direct link to a pivotal era in American history, bridging the nation’s humanitarian efforts of World War I with the economic trials of the Great Depression. With strong eye appeal, clear authentication, and historical importance, this piece represents an excellent addition to any presidential autograph collection.
