<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 1411303, member: 56&quot;]I like thing like these.&nbsp; They look official and important and, at the time, they were.&nbsp; They&#039;re on vellum (love the feel of vellum) and for the most part hand written.&nbsp; I think the title part is probably printed and a lot of the writing is formula, but every document will have its unique passages.&nbsp; You&#039;ll usually find gaps where particulars have been filled in in a different hand. Imagine some clark sitting with a quill and ink pot writing out all that.&nbsp; And when you handle them, you get a real sense of history.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a late document (1887) which starts by establishing ownership, even involving someone missing at sea.&nbsp; There&#039;s a follow-up document that clearly illustrates a fortune squandered.&nbsp; For me, it&#039;s fun.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]222806[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
