Found this document this morning. Nice block of 19 and a secondary block of 6 R6 (and I'm just going to assume they are R6C, based on document being dated 1867) and I have no intention of trying to look on the back of any of these. Document was certifying the sale of 117 acres of land (more or less, according to the document) for the whopping sum of $200!

A block of 19 is the 32nd largest multiple according to the Curtis Census.

Thanks Peter, I have to admit I was pretty surprised when I unfolded the document and BAM there they were!

I'll bite, Rev: what's the Curtis Census?
