This one of a kind document was saved from the trash !!

A number of years ago this document (and several others of note also) were rescued from a trash can after being mistakenly tossed with some other worthless items from an estate.  In all the years I have owned it I have searched for something like it unsuccessfully.  It is truly, one of a kind.

Document measures about 14 by 9 1/2 inches and is printed on both sides.  It is printed on medium weight semi-stiff paper stock.  It has been stored in an air conditioned environment for as long as AC has been in widespread use, since the early 1960's at least.
