Answer 1

you need to go to Sotherbys.com. THey have link their where you can ask them a question and they will tell you about the item and you can even send photos of it to them for free. They can tell you more about it and it won't cost you a thing. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would be very concerned about authenticity if it claims to be original but as there was no bradford on the original it is probably a copy from later-. The Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of New York. Gives out annual awards including a personalized engraved Mayflower Compact each year to students from 55 schools throughout New York State- they started doing so in the 1930's. so it depends on how old your copy is, as to any value. it could be interesting to find out more about bradford and why he got the copy

Answer 3

I watch that show all the time, and very into antiques. If it is authentic and original, I would imagine it would be worth some $$$. But I can't be for sure how much, I'm more into furniture and what not's.

Answer 4

Do you have homeowners insurance? If you don't have any you may want to get some because then the appraiser would be able to tell you. If you don't own you may still want to get renters insurance.

Bottom line find an appraiser that can look at it and tell you. Sounds like $$$ to me!
