<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 219801, member: 23"]You are going to have to take it to an expert who will look at it in person. I have to say, in my 50 years of being in the antique & collectible business, it's more often the case that items are not as old as the owner wants them to be. You've been given some best guesstimates by people who can only see online images. Go to a local conservator or museum and get someone to look at it. Many quality framers (not Michael's or A.C. Moore) have archival trained professionals on staff. It's one place to start on the paper itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
