Description

In this listing, the ticket as photographed. This Notley Young owned much land in DC . Daniel Carroll of Duddington also signed such lottery tickets, and correspondence can be found between George Washington and him (Carroll) at the National Archives site online. See a similar ticket among my listings as signed by Carroll, if still available. Some of these tickets had writing on the back—this one is blank. Re: Washington Canal lottery
For the photos listed, I did not adjust any color, saturation, contrast, lightness/darkness, etc. levels/settings before or after they were were taken.  The photos you see are of the document as captured by my phone camera. Condition of the document is as seen in the photos provided in this listing. There's a small hole near center after ‘the’ in the string of text “This ticket will entitle the” (as seen against a backlight in the last photo here), overall wear/toning and/or staining//tearing/creases/etc. due to age, perhaps improper handling and storage, etc.; otherwise you'll have to judge condition for yourself.
If you need closer photos or have any questions, feel free to ask!
-------> And now for all the fun fun terms of sale that you should be aware of! <----------
The buyer should understand and does agree to the terms of sale for this listing, which are the following:
1. Payment is accepted through PayPal only.
2. Payment is expected immediately if the Buy It Now option is used, otherwise within 24 hours after an offer has been accepted.
3. I, the seller, will pack and ship these item(s) WITH THE UTMOST CARE, but ultimately, once the package they are contained in is out of my hands and in transit through the mail, I will not be held responsible for loss or damage to the package and its contents.
4. These item(s) are being sold AS IS, AS PICTURED and sale of them through this listing is final. I, the seller, can and will make no guarantees about them other than that I have tried to describe them to the best of my ability and to note any issues regarding their condition (that I deem particularly worth mentioning) while still in my possession. It’s up to readers of this listing/potential buyers/the eventual buyer to make their own judgments about the condition of the item(s) using the description provided in the way of text and photos and to base their decision as to whether to purchase these item(s) on that description.
5. No return of these item(s) will be accepted and therefore, no refunds will be given.
6. Any and all questions about these item(s) are welcome, but expected BEFORE the listing ends and should be sent with time enough for me to get back to you with an answer. I will do my best to respond to reasonable requests for one or more additional photos and to send them through eBay’s message system as attachments.
7. Due to my work schedule and other responsibilities, it may take up to 4 full business days for me, the seller, to ship these item(s) off to the buyer after sale. They will not, however, be shipped until payment for them has been received from the buyer.
8. As a backup for both the buyer and me, the seller, I, the seller, will be making a video recording of myself preparing these item(s) in this sale for shipment, i.e. placing them carefully in the package, using appropriate packing materials, taking it to the post office, etc. I, the seller, will keep one or more copies of this video for as long as I need to ensure that the item got to you. Yes, I know, maybe an uncommon thing to do or even suggest, but maybe very smart, for the both of us.
9. I, the seller, will NOT ship to international addresses—in other words, I will NOT ship to addresses outside the continental USA.
10. The buyer is responsible for paying shipping costs as given in this listing. Shipping costs will not be refunded—I, the seller, will no longer have your money after I hand over payment to the carrier for shipment of the item(s).
11. Shipment will be made only to the verified shipping address from the buyer’s PayPal account. With regard to order changes and address changes: If you request a change of shipping address after your payment is received or if you request a change to your order after payment is completed, you will have to resubmit payment with your corrected information and I, the seller, will then refund your first payment. The reason for this is that PayPal does not seem to offer seller protection if I ship to an address other than the address as noted with your PayPal payment. If the order has been shipped and you want a change of address, that's too late. As such, I, the seller, will not accept any address changes or other changes to the order if the package has already been shipped. Check your shipping address BEFORE submitting payment, not after!
12. Shipment will be made with USPS mail and with packing materials to the extent that I, the seller, believe should and would be more than reasonable enough to ensure safe delivery of these items. Should the package become lost or damaged while in the hands of the carrier and anytime thereafter while in the buyer’s possession, you, the buyer, assume full responsibility for that. I, the seller, will not be held responsible for damage to the package/packaging/item(s) within that may be incurred after I hand it/them over to USPS for shipment.
13. Shipping for these item(s) will include delivery confirmation/tracking details from USPS.
14. The buyer will be sent the exact item(s) shown in the photos included in this listing and the description and photos provided in this listing refer to those very item(s).
