Antique wood frame measuring 24 x 19. This is an authentic, original Civil Appointment signed document by President William McKinley. The autograph of McKinley is clear and legible, making it a great addition to any political or historical memorabilia collection. The paper has an embossed / raised seal. Sheriff Cline was forcibly removed from office after refusing to step down despite numerous allegations of corruption and court rulings against him. His custom built mansion erected in 1901 still stands in Los Angeles today as a registered historic landmark. The Cline family was prominent on early Los Angeles politics and their family was one of the first to arrive in California in 1867 on the transcontinental railroad. Additional information of interest. The stamp on the back of the frame where Mr Cline had this framed was the emporium of HC LIGHTENBERG who appears in the Los Angeles business directory from 1892 through 1901.
