This is a framed piece of paper that seems to be very old and discolored and it is the poem of 'Twas the night before christmas and at the bottom it has his signature. Underneath his signature it says this is a hand written copy of 1862 one year before his death. I will post a picture, but i havent scanned one to the computer yet.

They are in very very good condition - looks like they have never been opened only a small fry at on corner. They are leather bound.

 This Car is from my father's estate.  It runs on fuel, of a similar mix, as current model airplanes.  The compression of the engine appears to be good.  As far as I know, it will still run.
