              Hi,

              Yesterday I was over at a cousin home.  He had two certificates that were dated 1928 and 1932.  Over the years these certificates had been folded and parts have been torn and scotch tape applied to the back of these certificates.  They are very beautiful color certificates.   The size of both certificates is approximately 9 inches by 12 inches.  I have a copy of both certificate if anyone would like to see them.  The question is besides putting them in a picture frame what other way could one preserved them from further damage.
