This certificate is in good condition, but it has been rolled up for decades, so it has some crease lines. It has a few small tears and some light edgewear. The small tears are easily repairable from the back and probably wouldn't even show. The paper is of a high quality, heavier grade. The document was obviously considered important enough to warrant the extra expense. It has tanned a bit, with age, but still very supple, not brittle. Meant to last, and has. No odors. Non-smoking environment. A wonderful collectible!
This item was purchased by a family member, at auction, in New York state, sometime in the 1960s. Since then, it has been carefully stored away. Hopefully now, it'll make it back to a family member, a collector, a Historical Society that will value it ... ! Thank you for your time!
