This 1850 document is a true copy of the Norwich CT Common Council Order, signed by the city sheriff. It pertains to curbing and flagging sidewalks of that time, making it a valuable piece of history for collectors of 19th century documents.

All ephemera has wear commensurate to age, including, potentially: nicks, folds, smudges, rips at edges, age stains, old smells, small holes, and other imperfections. You get what you see :)
