PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES ~JAMES BUCHANAN ~ ~ SIGNED, ORIGINAL DOCUMENT~ "1858" THIS IS AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT OF MY HUSBANDS GRANDFATHER. WE THINK HE MUST OF GOT IT FROM THE RICHMOND POST OFFICE WHEN HE RETIRED, OR WHEN THEY REMODLED IT YEARS AGO. IT WAS THEN KEPT PACKED AWAY IN A TRUNK FOR EVER AND EVER TILL A YEAR OR SO AGO I HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY MATTED AND FRAMED SO IT WOULD NOT BE HARMED OR DETERIORATE ANY FUTHER. THE GOLD SEAL IS T BUT FADED AND OTHER THAN THE FOLDS IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. I PAID OVER $150 JUST FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MATS, TINTED GLASS AND FRAME. THE DEALER THAT FRAMED IT, SAID EVEN WITH OUT THE PRESIDENTIAL SIGNATURE HE WOULD GIVE ME $500 FOR IT AT THAT TIME. THAT HE THOUGHT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA AND DONATE IT OR LOAN TO THEM! A FEW NIGHTS AGO I WAS WATCHING CNN, WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENTS AND THEIR "AFFAIRS" AND THEY SAID JAMES BUCHANAN WAS THE WORSE PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD AND MAYBE OUR ONLY GAY PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD! I HAVE DECIDED THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO SAVE FOR YEARS, AND MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE THAT WOULD JUST LOVE TO HAVE THIS WOULD GIVE IT A GREAT HOME. The document was made for William Wertenbaker (I BELIVE HE WAS THE FIRST LIBRARIAN AND WHO LATER BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. HE WAS ALSO A GOOD FRIEND AND DEFENDER OF EDGAR ALLAN POE OF RICHMOND, VA.) A COLLECTOR OF "POE" OR THE "WERTENBAKER FAMILY" MIGHT LIKE TO COLLECT THIS ITEM THIS ALSO! being made Deputy Postmaster of the University of Virginia in March 24, 1858 All money we make goes to take care of our only Grandson Robert. His brother, Maxie died at 10 of a rare cancer a few years ago.. So bid high! ^j^ /va/maxie ^j^ ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT! |
