How much do you think these are worth?...

That is soooo cool!!

 

Probably a lot, that sounds pretty cool.

 

You could probably do some internet research on them. Definitely dont take the first offer and be careful!

 

Those are cool, I would think they would be great to hold on to for family but I would do some searching on the internet and see what you find. the museum here in Salina might be interested in those I would check that out. glad to see another Kansas person here.

 

Antiques Road SHow

 

We have the original land grant document for our farm. I don't have a clue what they're worth.....ours will be passed on to one of our kids.

 

Wow! Those are pieces of American History! They are very valuable!

 

Are those original signatures?!?!?! Holy Guacamole! Does the term priceless mean anything to you? Yes, they are valuable but they are also priceless family heirlooms. Personally, their value is so high I would put them on loan to a museum. That way your family maintains ownership but the museum takes care of tending them properly. This also could bring them to a wider audience if you actually chose to sell them. Just make certian when you sign any deal with the museum that you retain ownership. Then, also if the museum is able to show them in other venues (museums sometimes share items for specific shows) you may be paid a stipend.

BTW, if they really are originals and you are certain of that they should be insured and put in bank at the very least.

 

Ours is in a frame, upside down in my linen drawer When my in-laws still had it it was in a metal can with the other land deeds in their basement.
