Found a pocket book....216 years old! APPRAISAL!

Not trying to bring up ancient history, but I just read through this entire thread and it's absolutely insane!!! Soooo amazing!!! I have to know if there are any updates or anything to this story. Does the OP still post on TNet?? Wow wow wow that's incredible! !!
 

Wow I can't even imagine having that much history on my property! I thought that living on an old homestead from the 1860's was fantastic! We haven't found anything that even comes close!!! Congratulations on your historical find! That desk is absolutely amazing!
 

Yeah, I know, this is a really old post. :laughing7:

Anyway, any updates Mojjax?
 

I had trouble reading the entire thread, kept getting page not available.

But, a couple thoughts. 1. You cannot copyright anything that is not your own original material. I once had a smart aleck brother who found a lot of really old photos, probably from before 1900. He copied them with a SLR camera, actually did a good job, then announced they were copyrighted. Not so. Once he found that out, he will take the photo, copy it, and photoshop a frame around it, then calls it copyrighted. These are family history photos. It should be no secret that he and I do not get along well any more.

2. Anything from before, I think 1923, is definitely copyright expired, with some possible exceptions if copyright was renewed, but I am not sure you can extend a copyright before that date. Copyright law was rapidly changed when Disney realized Mickey Mouse was about to expire.

Somewhat late perhaps, but only read this thread today, I can not add anything that has not already been said. I am blown away, what a day dream.
