<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 579427, member: 78&quot;]Hi Davey,</p><p>&nbsp; Reminds me of my 1846 receipt for the lands of my family. The family member donated the lands back to Queen Victoria instead of having them seized for back taxes. It was all folded up with such sharp creases it could not be read. Without thinking I ironed the document with without steam and got it nearly flat. Then I had it mounted archivally. I always thought the small blue stamp at the top had a piece of silver to show that the taxes were paid. I guess it will be tossed into the trash when I go.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
