Thank you for the additional photos; it was still difficult to read the document but from what I could gather, this is a fairly routine Indenture document.
These don't bring much on the open auction market and it's highly likely that it has more sentimental value to you and your family. It would only have more value on the market if it included the names of notable people, which I could not find after some research.
