Beautiful certificate from the Ridgway Farm & Land Company issued in 1856. This historic document was printed by Drapper, Welsh, & Co. and has an ornate border around it with several vignettes: William Penn in center top, farmers plowing on right top, miners working in mine on right border, train going overbridge on top left and male reaper on bottom left. Undertint in light red of "25 Acres". This item has been hand signed by the Company's President, Chas. K. Landis and Secretary, Sam'l Cattell and is over 155 years old. Appears in XF condition. Margins have been cut close to borders which is common for this piece. Extremely attractive.
