This piece was authenticatedmany years ago by Global Authentication Inc. The authentication number on the included COA matches the number on the piece. It was framed with anti-glare glass and terrific matting. It has never been hung and has remained in a dry dark space. This storage has retained the near perfect paper quality of both the letter and envelope. The letter has creases from the folds as expected from its placement into the envelope at the time of its original mailing. There is no mold, no water marks, no stains. The type is crisp and clear.
Thank you for considering this wonderful piece.
