This picture looks like it is on animal skin and I do not know what it symbolizes. I am very interested to see what this is and what it means. The is a date on a says on a piece of paper that was behind the picture with a lot more spanish that I cant understand was 1826. I do not have a picture of the paper but I can get one if you have any clue what this picture is of.

I received this map from my friend after his mom passed away and he was not interested in keeping it. I have no clue of its history or how old it is but it looks old and just feels old. I know his mom was very well off and loved to travel the world. I dont even know what it says for the matter. Its in french.

Pictures do no justice since the gold makes it difficult to show detail, but it is a beautifully illustrated marriage certificate with scenery and scripture. The blanks are hand-filled with calligraphy. Although the entire certificate is in German, it has a publisher of "Verlog von Ernst Kaufmann, 330 Pearl St New York" at the bottom. It is dated Aug 24, 1892 and appears to be from St. Micheals. There is some water damage to the bottom right. I have no idea whether or not this is an original certificate or just a copy of one for decorative purposes. It is in a wooden frame that I am afraid to dissasemble for a closer look. The paper backing has literally disintegrated, showing the wooden plank backing. The nails are rusted into the wood. The paper itself is in much better condition inside the frame.
I can see that the groom's name is Christian Pfleuger and the bride is Maria, (both from Wuttemburg) but the bride's last name is dificult to make out in calligraphy. My closest guess is Muhleisen.
I couldn't find anything about the publisher other than images of other certificates. I am just curious about this document, whether it is a copy or original, and value (if any).

The drawers contain original set of asscesories for the machine as well as old sewing threads, thimbles, spools etc there is a model number on the machine itself 164311

clawfoot oak round table in fair to good condition (bolts on center shaft probably need replacing). Table top is new as of circa 1985, but skirt and everything else is original and in good shape. Table is totally functional, but could use refinishing. Also possesses 1x6 inch leaf.
