Offered in this lot are two items signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, including a 3 x 5-inch card and a bank check. Roosevelt served as the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933 to 1945. Roosevelt successfully navigated the United States out of the Great Depression, and astutely commanded the nation during the crisis of World War II. Roosevelt’s shadow still looms over American liberalism and continues to define American politics. The card offered in this lot bears the text “State of New York / Executive Mansion / Albany” and the Seal of New York. Roosevelt has signed this card in black pen. The check, from the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, is made out to Kate Jennings for the value of $35.00. It was signed on May 5th, 1944, by Roosevelt in black pen. Each item in this lot comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
