A Word From The President - George Washington Authentic Handwritten Word Card

This is a premium historical commemorative card from the 'A Word From The President' series, housed in a formal presentation display. The item features an authentic fragment of a document containing a single word handwritten by George Washington, the first President of the United States. The handwritten word appears to be 'Into' or 'India', written in 18th-century cursive ink on cream-colored parchment or rag paper, which is inlaid into the bottom third of the card. The card design is highly ornate, featuring a central oval portrait of Washington set against a backdrop of a waving American flag. Above the portrait, the text 'A Word From THE PRESIDENT' is printed in gold-tone lettering, with 'AUTHENTIC HANDWRITTEN WORD' at the bottom. The card is encased in a thick, clear protective acrylic block or 'one-touch' magnetic holder to preserve the delicate paper fragment from environmental damage. This holder is nested within a custom white foam insert inside a red-bordered presentation box. Further presentation elements include a blue velvet-style lid with a gold circular seal featuring the American flag. The condition of the display appears excellent, with the card and ink fragment showing no visible signs of light fading or moisture damage. The craftsmanship reflects a high-end collector's market piece, merging genuine primary source historical artifacts with modern sports-card style authentication and packaging. The estimated age of the handwriting dates to the late 18th century, while the card manufacturing is contemporary (21st century).
