This painting was left on the wall of a bedroom in a house I purchased in 1985. About 1990 I had the glass removed as I personally don't like a glass covered oil paintings. I've always liked the painting but largely ignored it until a friend started painting and I bought one of her paintings which was of course signed at which point it occurred to me to wonder if I could find out anything about the alpine landscape painting and the artist Lobis whose signature is in the bottom right hand corner. The internet mentions an artist Lobis who died in 1905 and who painted alpine landscapes so I wonder if my painting could be an original Lobis and if so, what its value might be.

I found an original 3 page memo (June 24, 1941) from Perry Prentice to all staff working for TIME magazine. The memo provides a great window into the operations of journalism at that time, containing info on how they knew Germany was going to declare war on Russia, the sinking of the Robin Moor and their exclusive photos of it, how they had to discard 800,000 copies of that week's edition and reprint with Stalin and Timoshenko on the cover, etc. I've done some research, but I haven't been able to find anything on any memos of the sort, although I found that TIME has published the full contents online here: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,790149,00.html

The paper is in pretty good condition. All the text is visible and untouched, but there is some discoloration around the left edges (the paper itself is blue, as it was in 1941, but ~<1/4 inch around the left edge has turned brown).

How much is this thing worth? I don't plan to sell it, but I don't want to display it in my office only to have it mysteriously disappear either.

Also, if you have any insights on how I should store it and if I could/should display it, I would be grateful.

 It is wooden, handcarved and has a "necklace" of teeth on it.  I was told it was gorilla teeth, but can't confirm that.  They do appear to be real teeth.  The mask is mostly black and has a red spiral design on the top.  Is this a voodoo mask or a tribal mask?
