Property from the Eric C. Caren Collection(AMERICAN REVOLUTION)Simsbury Bridge Lottery Tickets. [Connecticut: 1781] 1 uncut sheet (15 7/8 x 4 in.; 405 x 100 mm). Letterpress printed, manuscript numeration, each ticket signed by Dudley Pettibone; lightly soiled. The consignor has independently obtained a letter of authenticity from PSA that will accompany the lot. A sheet of uncut Revolutionary War lottery tickets, an unusual survival in original condition.
