Hi Robert,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A mid Nineteenth Century British handwritten Indenture
dated April 29, 1848
between Wm George Bishop, Thomas Farncomb, William Cabell and George Harrys
with seals and stamps of the scrivener (blue)
possibly on vellum
framed 33 by 28 inches
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition; not examined out of the frame.
PROVENANCE: inherited
$50-75*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
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.
