1901 President William McKinley Military Appointment Document Signed
Just over a month into his second term as President of the United States and six months prior to his assassination, William McKinley signed this document (February 28, 1901).

It is boldly signed by McKinley as President and Elihu Root as Secretary of War. Sight size: 18" x 14". Archivally matted and in a modern metal frame to: 22" x 18". Condition: A few nicks to the blue paper seal, otherwise very good. Shipping Notes: We ship same day via USPS upon receipt of payment before 3 PM. Payments received Monday-Friday (after 3 PM) will be shipped the next morning. Payments received after 3 PM on Fridays and on Saturdays & Sundays will be shipped no later than the following Monday morning. A note about packing: Check our feedback.

International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up; do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
