Pair of Marine Corps Commandant autographs.
Signature of Jacob Zeilin, 1" x 2.75" slip, neatly penned “J. Zeilin, Brig. Gen. & Commdt., U.S. Marine Corps.” Zeilin (1806–1880) served as the seventh Commandant of the Marine Corps from 1864 to 1876, becoming the first Commandant to achieve the rank of brigadier general and approving the adoption of the Marine Corps emblem still in use today.
Autograph card signed “Wallace M. Greene, Jr.,” 3.5" x 5.5", dated February 27, 1964, on official U.S. Marine Corps Commandant stationery. Greene (1907–2003) was the 23rd Commandant of the Marine Corps, serving from 1964 to 1967 and overseeing the Corps during the critical early years of the Vietnam War.
A desirable dual-era grouping, spanning a century of Marine Corps leadership from Zeilin’s Civil War–era command to Greene’s Vietnam War–era leadership.
