Family heirloom

Just wanted to share a family heirloom.
Backstory - For more than 50 years, my grandparents ran a hunting preserve (pheasants, ducks) on a farm of about 400 acres located an hour north of Milwaukee. They lived in the main house and when the hunters would come, they would hang out in the front room where they had an old tv and some warm drinks/snacks. For as long as I can remember, a small framed business slip hung above the coffee maker that always mesmerized me.
After the peaceful passing of my 93 year old grandmother, it has finally been passed on. A big thanks to my mom (one of 10 kids) who was able to get this treasure for me.
It was really neat as a kid imagining Hank Aaron hanging out at my grandparents house after a hunt; probably one of the main reasons I started collecting Aaron cards.
What I love is the full name signature "Henry Louis Aaron" instead of Hank. Just don't see it very often.

Priceless! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
That is a great piece. So cool!
Great story!
How big is this?
Usual paper size; about 8 inches wide. I imagine they had sheets with 3 or 4 of these slips printed on each.

That is so neat. Maybe get PSA/DNA slabbed?
