Hi all,
Thought I might share a little find of mine. I was cleaning around the yard and burning a bunch of trash left from a previous tenant. As I was tossing old papers into the fire I saw an envelope from the white house. I snagged it out of the fire real quick and saw it was a signed 50th anniversary congratulations letter. It's not in great condition from sitting in a trash can outside for many years, but still pretty cool.

It makes you wonder why someone would throw that away. It is a wonderful item in spite of its condition. If you chose to go that way, a professional paper restorer could remove most of those stains. Of course, there would be a cost involved.
Good job saving it!

It's not a real signature. These were preprinted and sent out by the thousands.
