ANTIQUE 1916 NYC First Aid to the Injured Certificate Red Cross Framed & Signed For Sale

Antique 1916 NYC First Aid to the Injured Certificate Red Cross Framed Signed

This is a genuine hand-signed certificate dated May 12, 1916, issued by The Society for Instruction in First Aid to the Injured of New York City, certifying that Charles H. Suckel completed a course of instruction and was qualified to render first aid to the injured.

The certificate features a bold lithographed red cross emblem, allegorical classical figures, and ornate Victorian-Edwardian border engraving typical of turn-of-the-century civic society documents.

It is signed by Bayard Tuckerman as President — a Harvard-educated author and historian well known in early 1900s New York and Boston society — and by Louis Faugeres Bishop, M.D., as Secretary, whose son became one of America's first physicians to specialize in cardiology. The certificate also lists Vice President J.N. Borland, Chief Treasurer A.A. Campbell, and Medical Director Theron W. Kilmer, M.D., along with an examiner's signature.

The piece is presented in what appears to be its original oak frame with wire hanging hardware on the back and the original glass intact.

This is a wonderful piece of early American medical and civic history — suitable for a collector of Red Cross and first aid ephemera, a genealogist researching the Suckel family or early 20th century New Yorkers, a fan of American historical biography given the Tuckerman connection, or simply someone looking for a striking, conversation-starting piece of framed antique wall art for a home office, study, or medical practice. A scarce survival — these fragile paper certificates rarely stay intact and framed this long.

This is an antique paper document being sold in as-found, unrestored condition. Please review all photos closely, as they are the best representation of the item's actual condition — expect natural age-toning, light foxing, and a small closed tear at the top center as shown, none of which affect the legibility of the text or signatures. The frame and glass show wear consistent with over a century of age. No repairs, cleaning, or restoration have been attempted. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen. Please ask any condition questions before purchasing, as this one-of-a-kind original antique is sold as-is.
