[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 666472, member: 4362"] A friend of mine was cleaning out his MIL's house and came across an old chest. Inside the chest was her grandmother's things and he was sorting through the contents. In the bottom of the chest he found a small stack of old papers that looked interesting. He began looking at these and he found a paper(s) (wasn't really paper but something else) that had the Gettysburg address on it and at the bottom was Abraham Lincoln's signature. :shock: The paper looked like a draft cause there were words marked out with other words written on top of them but the contents are unmistakenly Lincoln's speech. Being fairly level headed he thinks the odds of this being real is remote to say the least. But what if? Who would you contact to find out if it is real? Could you keep it or would they take it? Who could you trust? I mean you hear of people getting snookered by antique appraisers and such. Or did they make copies of this and sell them? If they did, would they not have used the final draft? I thought this was quite interesting. BTW- if there is a law against possessing such an item I only made this up based on a dream I had and my friends name is Barney Rubble. That will be my story and I'll stick to it. [/QUOTE]
