The following are some related items we have sold:
Very scarce debt certificate signed by Paul Revere during the Revolutionary War, issued by the Massachusetts-Bay Colony to raise badly needed funds for the war. Issued 19 February 1777, this note is signed by Revere on the verso, acknowledging annual interest in the amount of 12 shillings, dated 23 February 1778. Beautifully signed ”Paul Revere” with an elegant paraph accentuating his signature.
Revere was known to have invested his own funds in the Revolutionary War via debt certificates, so much so that he suffered financially during the war as a result. Since Revere was a soldier from 1777-78, and not a member of the colonial legislature, the most likely reason he would have signed the note is as lender, acknowledging interest received. Front of note is signed by Henry Gardner as Treasurer and Receiver-general of the colony, and by two of Gardner’s Boston deputies: William Cooper, and Nathaniel Appleton.
Massachusetts-Bay was the first colony in 1776 to issue debt certificates to pay for the war effort, with this note in February 1777 an early example. Note is number 16317, with a double hatch mark over Gardner’s signature indicating that the note was eventually repaid in full. With elaborate letterpress scrollwork along border, reading ”BOUNTY NOTE” along left edge, partly-printed note measures approximately 6.375” x 6.75” on cream laid paper. Intersecting folds, neither affecting signature, with split starting along right horizontal fold. Trimmed along left edge. Overall very good condition. With University Archives COA. A fantastic example of Revere’s signature from the Revolutionary War, with patriotic association to the war effort. Sold for $36,603.
Very scarce receipt signed by Paul Revere regarding one of his famous horseback rides, dated 15 February 1775 just two months before his Midnight Ride warning colonists that ”The British Are Coming” before the Battle of Lexington & Concord. As official courier for the Boston Committee of Public Safety, Revere was tasked with riding from Boston to Philadelphia and New York, with historians documenting 18 such rides from December 1773 to November 1775. This was likely the last of the rides before the Revolutionary War began, and is only one of two receipts for the rides ever to appear at auction, with the other selling at Christie’s for $140,000 in 2002. Composed entirely in the hand of Revere, receipt documents expenses ”from Boston to N. York” in the amount of 4 pounds, 3 shillings, and additional expenses for his Horse, and his time, all totaling 13 pounds, 19 shillings. Dated 15 February 1775 by Revere. Document measures 7.5” x 2.25”, framed with an engraving of Revere on horseback to a size of 15.75” x 18”. Uneven edges, clean vertical separation and light chipping at lower left edge. Overall very good plus condition with legible and strong handwriting. With Profiles in History COA. Sold for $36,603.
Incredibly Scarce Paul Revere Autographed Receipt — From the Patriot Who Called His Countrymen to Arms — 1816
Exceptional 1816 Paul Revere autograph receipt. Handwritten receipt datelined, “Boston, Monday 15th January 1816,” accounts for $91.05 owed to Revere for rent and supplies. Signed in bold black ink, “Received pay, Paul Revere,” just two years before Revere’s death at age 83. Revere’s elusive, highly prized signature is rarely seen earning Revere-signed items a legacy of mythical proportions comparable to the man himself. Document measures approximately 7.75″ x 5.5″. Accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from James Spence & PSA/DNA. Several fold lines lightly touch Revere’s signature. Professional reinforcement at folds to reverse; not visible from front of document. A rare and wonderful Revere relic in overall excellent condition. Extremely dark Paul Revere autograph.

Paul Revere Document Signed 1802
Document signed twice by Paul Revere. Single page bill for a 127 bell made by Revere & Son for Joseph Bliss of Haverhill, New Hampshire. Composed at Boston, Massachusetts on 19 October 1802, document reads in full: “Joseph Bliss / Bot of Paul Revere & son / One Small Bell Weight / 127 to @ 50 Cents $63.50. Receive pay.” Signed “Paul Revere & son” and “Paul Revere/& Son.” Document measures 6.5″ x 3.5″. Matted and displayed in a stunning frame with a half-length portrait image of Revere to a finished size of 20.5″ x 13.5″. Joseph Bliss served as a Captain during the Revolutionary war and held many important offices in Haverhill, New Hampshire including the town’s first postmaster. It is possible that in 1802, Bliss purchased this bell for the Haverhill Academy, chartered in 1794. In 1816, the Academy building burned and a new school was built that same year near the site of the earlier structure. Paul Revere started the bell business in 1792 and was joined by his sons, Paul and Joseph. In 1801, Paul Jr. left the business while Joseph remained, and the company name became Paul Revere & Son, as it’s signed on this receipt. From 1792 to 1828, the Revere foundry cast 959 bells. Document creased at the right edge and shows mild soiling. None of the three light horizontal folds pass through either of Revere’s signatures. Light show-through from docket on verso. Near fine condition. Sold for $20,000.
Paul Revere Autograph on Masonic Document
Calligraphic document on vellum signed by Paul Revere.

Signed by Master, Paul Revere and countersigned by Robert McElroy, S. Willis and Benjamin Coolidge, officers of the Lodge, and by Goodwin in the margin. Certification of the Lodge on verso signed by Joseph Webb. Document opens with the traditional Masonic motto, “And the Darkness comprehended it not, in the East a place of Light where reigns silence and Peace” and goes on to “…Certify, that the Bearer hereof our Brother Lazarus Goodwin has been duly received by us and initiated in the Secret Mysteries of the Craft, & after due proficiency therein, we have conferred on him the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason.” Revere was initiated in St. Andrew’s Lodge in 1760 and was a very active member serving as Junior Deacon, Junior Warden, and Secretary before being installed as Worshipful Master in 1770, and finally as Grand Master in 1794. Document measures approximately 13″ x 8.75″. Some soiling at margins and folds. Sans wax seal. Good condition. Slightly light Paul Revere autograph. Sold for $14,500.

In full, “Receives of the Town of West Boylston two hundred & twenty three dollars 41/100, in full for the Ballance between the Old & new Bell received by the hand of Ezra Beaman Esqr / $223=41 / Paul Revere & Son.” Revere and his sons produced many church and meeting house bells in a nearly forty-year period between 1792 and 1828, and many still hang in buildings throughout New England and beyond. Nothing is known about the fate of this particular bell, but it may lie at the bottom of the Wachusett Reservoir as most of the town of West Boylston was submerged by its construction in 1908.
