I have a 1922 Rock Island 70th birthday message in its orginal glass (with inperfections) and frame written by Wallace T. Hughes titled "The Message of a Pioneer" Dated October 10, 1922.
It hung in the Depot at White City, KS before it was torn down.

Can anyone tell me what it is worth or point me to where I can get this info?

I got this from my wife's grandpa when he passed. But now my wife wants a divorce and this item back. My Grandpa and Dad both worked for the Rock Island and unfortunately my plan of donating it to a museum has now changed.

Thanks.
