Description
Collector-Grade, Beckett-authenticated autographed and signed 1863 handwritten letter memorabilia from American inventor Charles Goodyear, slabbed by BAS. Goodyear pioneered the vulcanization of rubber and secured his landmark U.S. patent in 1844, transforming manufacturing from footwear and belting to the foundations of the modern tire industry. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company later adopted his name, underscoring his lasting influence. This one-page 7.5 x 9.75 inch letter to Hon. Abbott Lawrence references interest from Lord Hardinge in military equipment uses of his rubber innovations.
