Description
Dwight D. Eisenhower Signed "Short Snorter," also signed by Eleanor Roosevelt, Frank Knox, Omar N. Bradley, and many others on a 1939 Irish £1 Note from the "Lady Lavery" series. Ike has signed along the short side in the bottom margin on the verso of the note making his signature quite visible. A "short snorter" is a bank note signed and exchanged among servicemen, a very popular practice during World War II. Visiting dignitaries' autographs were often obtained on notes such as this one. The note measures 6" x 3.5" and it is framed between two pieces of glass to 7.5" x 5" overall. A few light stains and original folds, else very good.Auction Info
