I purchased this grave stone from a seller in a once-in-a-while roadside antique store in upstate, rural, farmland New York. This gravestone fragment was uncovered by the seller's father-in-law, who struck this stone while plowing a field with a tractor. There were no other stones in the vicinity, and no grave yard nearby. The seller I purchased it from cleaned up the mangled edges and surfaces.
Last time I posted a grave stone for sale, many folks were upset, and I share this one for sale with great caution and respect. I understand that this item pushes the boundaries of some people's ethics. That said, I have no reason to believe that this grave stone was improperly removed from its grave any time in recent history, or by anyone in the recent chain of custody, and am comfortable offering it for sale.
Also, if someone is able to determine the location of the grave this may have originally been at, and able to determine that there is no proper marker on that grave, I will, at my own expense, see that it is returned to the appropriate place. The only caveat to this is that if it has already been purchased by someone, it will be there's to do with what they wish.
Thank you for your understanding, and please direct any comments or concerns to my email ryan@memoryholevintage.com.
