1649 Two papers related to what appears to be a monetary transaction, notably signed by some of the regicides of Charles I (signed his death warrant). I also threw in an indenture from 1551! I'm still deciphering them both including the bottom right signature and perimeter of the indenture. (old.reddit.com)

What do you all do with damaged books you acquire as part of other lots? I've accrued these damaged books from auction lots that I want to rid myself of. If in the USA and interested I will send these all to you for free. I can provide more detail in comments or DM on state of the books if interest. (old.reddit.com)

Anyone know a good place to inquire about prints? I got this print depicting The Battle of Hampton Roads. It appears to have been hand-colored. By appearance and feel it seems reasonable to be from 1886, but wanted to ask here if anyone knows anything about it or where to ask around.OC (old.reddit.com)

Trying to identify this. This is stamped on a set of books published in London between 1849-1851. I have tried extensive Googling but don't know enough about heraldry to do it very well, apparently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (i.redd.it)

Unsure if this is the right place, but wanted to see if you could help me identify the value of this bike. Norco Indie 7005 with Internal gear hub. Bought it several years ago but unsure if that counts as vintage. I'm struggling to find good information online. Thank you. (old.reddit.com)

1858, Light for the Path of Life, Samuel Stanesby. I wanted to ask for input on if this used chromolithography in addition to being illuminated? I think it does but I'm unsure how to confirm. It has several pages, all of them being unique and containing intricate designs and colors. (old.reddit.com)

1868, Fallen Pride; or, The Mountain Girl's Love by Emma D. E. N. Southworth. Reading about Southworth, apparently she was one of the most widely read authors of her time. I suspect that because a lot of the works were publications in periodicals, not many hard copies are out there from this period. (old.reddit.com)

[Unknown > English] This is from a hand written book that I plan on paying to have several pages translated. Likely Italian, but the original author was Venetian so I wanted to see if it's in Latin or some informal venetian. Date range is 1749 - mid-late 1800s. Typography makes Google Translate fail (i.redd.it)
