The original owner of our house was co-assignee of an 1887 patent. I was able to download a PDF copy of the original documents from the United States Patent Office website. I also found someone on Etsy who sells “aged” paper that can be run thought a laser printer. Combining those two sources, I printed out a page of the patent diagrams and the first page of text. Voilá – A neat little bit of history on display.
