From Hollywood Prop House Closure
These are blank, unsigned, unsealed, novelty and not meant to be used as the real thing.
Blank and unfilled New York State Supreme Court attorney admission certificates, sold as a set of approximately 9.
Never completed — no attorney name, no date, no signature, no court seal affixed.
Each certificate is printed on cream/ivory stock with a bold ornate border of interlocking decorative motifs running the full perimeter.
pre-printed text reads in formal script:
"Be it Remembered that upon certification by the Examining Committee of the State Bar and by order of this Court — [blank] — was admitted as an Attorney and Counselor at Law and has taken and subscribed the oath as required by law, and is hereby licensed as such Attorney and Counselor to practice in all the Courts of the State. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the official seal this ___ day of ___, A.D. 19__"
A signature line for the Clerk of the Supreme Court appears at the bottom center.
The "A.D. 19__" pre-printed dating places these in the 20th century.
Large format, approximately 14 inches wide by 11 inches tall.
Era
20th century, exact decade unknown
Size
Approximately 14" wide x 11" tall
Condition
Paper has yellowed with age, consistent with storage over decades.
The reverse of at least one sheet shows significant creasing and surface wear (see photos).
Individual sheets vary — most present better than the back piece visible in photos.
Sold as novelty/prop/ephemera — not as legal documents of any kind.
This is being sold as is and as photographed.
Due to the high volume of items I have to list I am unable to take any further photos or measurements at this time.
😻😻 Your purchase helps me continue to fund my artistic work as a photographer in Hollywood California. It also helps me to feed my increasingly finicky cat who now only wants the most expensive cat food 😻😻
