Continental Army Pay Script — Connecticut — 1780

Updated on April 3: This has been sold.

Revolutionary war document issued by the State of Connecticut's Treasury Office, dated June 1, 1780 for compensation to a veteran of the Continental Army for unpaid service during the American Revolution.

Signed by the Revolutionary War treasurer, John Lawrence.

On the back is handwritten notes presumably written by Lawrence.

Note size: 4.5" x 8"

This is in very good condition.

This note is in a 8" x 10" freestanding Lucite frame to protect the currency while allowing you to display it standing or flat. The two pieces of Lucite are held together with magnets, which makes it easy to remove the currency for a closer inspection or to frame in a different manner or to store.

Note that the manufacturer claims UV protection, but I haven't seen any technical report, so recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight.

Important note on the care of these frames: Use a microfiber cloth or similar to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not use household cleaners.

Shipping: $15. Please allow one week for shipping.
