John Witherspoon Signature

Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey (1723–1794), who went on to sign the Articles of Confederation. Extremely scarce, bold ink signature, "Jno. Witherspoon,” on an off-white 3 x 1 slip. In very good condition, with trimmed edges impinging on the signature, and a short tear to the bottom edge. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Witherspoon's autograph material into the 'very rare' category among the signers of the Declaration.
