[QUOTE="ATB, post: 191778, member: 3530"]Oh. Geesh...I already see, from your reply, that this is indeed a very diverse topic. :) I will try to be more specific about what I'm interested in learning about today. Tomorrow that's going to change after I learn a bit more and go running off in another direction ;) Ok...so...today I am interested in collecting hand written letters. I find that hand writing can be so beautiful, the words so haunting and that glimpse into the past is breathtaking. I thought that if I could accurately age the paper that the words were written on then I would be able to date the letter. I see a great many letters that dealers have for sale but not knowing for myself what is authentic and what isn't, keeps me from buying anything at all. Oh boy....this is going to be a fun learning curve :) Thank you for your speedy response. Kindly, ATB[/QUOTE]
