Measures 30-1/2" x 18-3/8" including frame. The document itself measures about 27" x 14-3/4". The vellum indenture is dated 1798 and is signed by the High Sheriff of Berks County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is for a land indenture in Berks County. Both sides are visible with double sided glass mounts. The back shows the paper seal of the Notary Office of Berks County; it is signed by Peter Angstadt. CONDITION: The indenture shows visible fold marks with some darkening in the creases. There are no tears or losses, but some scattered areas of yellowing. Seal is complete and visible and some ink on the back is beginning to thin. The figured maple frame is excellent and sound. A scarce and well displayed item to accompany and Angstadt rifle or for any collector of Berks County rifles.
