The last time it was seen at auction was in Philadelphia in 1894 when it was part of Charles Colcock Jones’s collection. He was a politician, a lawyer, and a self-proclaimed amateur historian from Georgia.
It wound up being purchased as a gift for businessman and collector Adrian Van Sinderen, which encouraged him to pursue an interest in American history and books.
Ever since then, the document has remained in the Van Sinderen family until now.
It’s exciting and rather unexpected that another copy of the Constitution is up for sale just a year after the sale of a separate one.
