It is on velum which from what I understand is a difficult thing to work with. Needless to say it had seen its better days. I purchased it in a broken frame and glass with a ton of wrinkles in it. <p>I contacted several different companies, sent photos and my explaination of what I wished done.

Schweiger <br> New York </blockquote> <p>A Civil War US Navy Captains Commission signed by President Lincoln was sent to our studio in dire need of restoration. The document was mounted in a cheap frame with broken glass and over the years the velum on which document was printed and written became warped and infested by mold and mildew. <p>After careful removal from the frame, the document was deacidified and cleaned to prevent any further chemical deterioration and infestation. The appearance of stains was reduced as much as possible with particular attention given to preservation of President Lincolns' signature. Following careful flattening of the document it was mounted on archival board with mylar corners, covered with a custom cut mat and framed in an elegant black gallery molding.</td> </tr> </table> <table width="80" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="site_img/1x1_xxxxxx.gif" width="480" height="4" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#B6A785"><img src="site_img/1x1_xxxxxx.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="site_img/1x1_xxxxxx.gif" width="310" height="30" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p><a href="018-restoration-autographed-document.html"><img src="thumbs/samples_18.jpg" alt="certificate signed by future US President Theodore Roosevelt when he was Commissioner of the New York City Police Department." width="317" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a>What a wonderful job Preserve Your Past has done on the restoration of the 110 year old certificate we recently located in our family archives. The certificate was signed by future US President Theodore Roosevelt when he was Commissioner of the New York City Police Department. The purpose of the certificate was to appoint our ancestor as member of the Department. <p>In 1897, our ancestor was a recent immigrant to the United States. The certificate was torn, faded, darkened and carried just about every impediment to legibility which one could imagine. However, Preserve Your Past proceeded diligently and with care to rejuvenate this 1897 document into nearly good as new condition.

Bean. Over the years this document printed on extremely thin velum which was treated and sterilized by NASA prior to the mission launch, began to display slight warping of the surface, exhibited minor tears and showed signs of discoloration.
