FDC
Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) and Betty Ford (1918-2011) Inauguration Day commemoration cover, signed "Gerald R. Ford" in black ink and "Betty Ford" in blue ink. Postmarked August 9, 1974 and features a printed portrait of Ford which identifies him as the 38th President of the United States. A green 10-cent U.S. postage stamp at upper right bears a Washington, D.C. cancellation dated August 9, 1974. The combinations of presidential and first lady signatures on an inauguration day cover make this an especially appealing piece of presidential memorabilia. 6.5" x 3.75". Wear includes light creases and light notations from previous collector on verso. Overall, very good condition. From the Doug Wertman Collection.
August 9, 1974, was an extraordinary moment in American history. Following Richard Nixon's resignation, Gerald R. Ford took the oath of office in the East Room of the White House, administered by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, becoming the 38th President of the United States. Ford remains the first person to assume the presidency after having been appointed, rather than elected, to the vice presidency.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
