I've placed a bid on the item in question under the name Vintonbuyer. I've also acquired the last one mentioned on this board http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2209347043&category=29466&rd=1 Copies will be made for appropriate libraries and history societies. Historical documents are found on E-bay by the hundreds daily. Last year my wife bought several hundred Lycoming county Pa documents for my birthday. I've compiled an index of most of them for libraries. My specialty was Vinton County, Ohio documents and postcards as well as old genealogy bibles. I've located descendants for two bibles and some photographs which I returned to them. Many people purchase these items at estate auctions and see only profit. Richard D. Morgan
