    The United States Declaration of Independence - 1923 Copy

    33" x 28" - this is approximately the size of the original document

    Another item from my collection that has never been viewed before. I've had this for a long time and it's been rolled up and kept in the safe. It needs some restoration. Someone has put Scotch tape on the back.

    1923 copy reproduced by Norman Chance of Tacoma Washington. I looked up the address it is in the neighboring town from where I live. One of the online realtor websites show that the house was built in 1906 at that address. That is about all the information I could find on this person.

    With new enthusiasm I have sent some emails out to the Tacoma Historical Society and some other experts to try and get more information on this.

    UPDATED INFORMATION:
    **from historical society....
    *CHANCE, NORMAN H. - 69 YEARS OLD-WIFE
    *Date of Obit 21 DEC 1929 LEDGER 3 Date of death not specified in obituary.
    *House was built at that address in 1906-07.
    *According to the 1924 City Directory he is listed as a salesman.
    *According to Find-a-Grave, he was buried in Ohio:

    One expert told me, "copies made after about 1880 are so common that they don’t have any monetary value to speak of."

    I believe with the Tacoma connection that this may have some local historical significance.

    The United States Declaration of Independence (formally The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America) is the pronouncement adopted by the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1776. The Declaration explained why the Thirteen Colonies at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain regarded themselves as thirteen independent sovereign states, no longer under British rule. With the Declaration, these new states took a collective first step toward forming the United States of America.
