The negative shows a rural farm setting with horses, wagons, barns, people doing farm chores, etc. It is about 16"x20". Etched across the bottom is "Mutual Insurance Benefit Co. 1945". How do I find out who did it, what is the value, etc. Also how should it be stored to protect the image?

Hi, BTGilbert!

Do you know if it's from around where you live now or a place where you might have lived in the past, please?

Thanks!

No. Found it in a consignment shop in SW Virginia

If it's about the same insurance company that I found on The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ? FREE The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company information | Encyclopedia.com: Find The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company research (http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-2840700112.html) 1945 would mark their centennial year.
