The consignor is doing the right thing. Raynor's is a respected auction house for that type of item. You would never get equal money sending it to a venue like ebay.
Sure wish I knew the source of that document!! My family lived and was very political in the area during the 1700 and 1800's...My Great Great GrandFather built the original roads down there.

It is amazing what is occasionally found at places such as this... One of my favorite 'treats' is to find an occasional free 2-3 hours and browse these shops. I have never found something like this, but frequently acquire a few minor 'treasures' that make me smile. Cheers, RickO

Sounds like this guy doesn't walk away empty handed - he has a "Honey, the last time you made me get rid of something..." card in his deck that should be good for life, and as collector that is a very valuable thing.
it's like anything, ... it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. The donation turned into $2.48
As for now, it's only worth $2.48 from what I am reading.

Why don't you buy it and flip? (mr. expert)
A nice chunk of change turnover I'd say.
