Details:

Robert L. Stevens clipped signature from a larger inventory or business document, measuring approximately 7.5 x 2.75 inches. Dated Hoboken, New Jersey, September 1, 1872, the manuscript fragment bears Stevens' bold signature, "Robt. L. Stevens," alongside the notation "Good Duplicates."

The clipped signature was carefully preserved from a larger nineteenth-century document and retains portions of the original handwritten inventory text, including references to supplies and the Hoboken, New Jersey location. The date places the document during Stevens' later years, when he remained one of America's most influential industrialists and transportation innovators.

Very good condition with light age toning.
