John Hancock, 1976 Bicentennial Decanter Made by McCormick

John Hancock, 1976 Bicentennial Decanter Made by McCormick. John
Hancock made his Signature very large.It was July 4, 1776. Philadelphia
steamed with more than the sticky heat of midsummer as the delegates of
the thirteen colonies to the Second Continental Congress assembled.
Having herd the succinct but brief statement of philosophy and
grievances, they crowed forward to put their signatures to the document.
The first signature, with its great flourish, was that of the President
of the Congress. Tradition has it that as he signed, John Hancock
commented, "Let King George read my name without his spectacles, and let
him double the price he has on my head!"Bicentennial collectibles,
