My name is Valerie and I personalize the certificate with your personal information in matt finished India Ink for long-lasting preservation, using a Copperplate Script hand-lettering style. These are thick-thin strokes. I have a bunch of old, old originals anywhere from 1875 to 1914 and the lettering varies, however, what is special about these is how unique they are in their authenticity (as they were the official document). The special touch of Hand-Lettering remains reminiscent of days past--no machine lettering here.

I like doing hand lettering on these 'new' heirlooms as I feel it makes them more authentic and "not" computer generated. I use India Ink and this gives a texture to the lettering....you can run your fingers across the letters and feel a slight raised effect. Your certificate will become a treasure to pass on to the next generation.

The Paper may be different, but these are reproduced from the old originals that were handed down from the years. Most are manufactured on a heavy acid-free twelve point stock and some on parchment-like paper to bring out the colors as brilliantly as the originals. This will help preserve your heirloom. Order yours today!
