Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / A confusing date on family heirloom
« on: Tuesday 18 February 25 15:30 GMT (UK) »
This piece of paper was found in a family pocketwatch. The watch itself seems to be dated to the 1830s, according to stamps on the silver casing, and the general design (it's a verge fusee). So even though this signature seems to say '1667' or something, that doesn't seem possible. Could the paper predate the watch? or is is that not a date at all
