Two documents signed by the Tammany Hall politicians: a DS signed "W. M. Tweed," one page, 8.25 x 9.75, January 30, 1869, being a City of New-York pay order in the amount of $668 for materials used in "painting public lamps"; and a check filled out in another hand and signed by New York City's mayor, "A. Oakey Hall," 8 x 3.75, July 31, 1869, being a check made payable to J, Vanderbeck for $150 as "Salary as Inspector, Buildings." In overall very good to fine condition, with a minor edge chip, light toning, and partial splits to folds of the Tweed document.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
