English letter and cipher-code statement by supposed pirate Eli Fleete dated December 14, 1553 detailing where his treasure is buried (probably a 17th-century fraud), the cipher mounted on red-brown blotter matt. 9" x 6" each sheet. Two small, handwritten documents, probably purposefully aged with smears and rips and fading, one in flowing script and the other just numbers and dots and vertical lines (cipher), accompanied by a summary letter by an expert exposing the probably fraud, still very intriguing as an old "pirate treasure map".

Estimate: $100 - 200
