<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
