# Commercial value estimate
Financial documents from the late 1800s related to the history of wine, historic cellars, and liquor export are among the most sought-after in Scripophily and paper collectibles (ephemera). The condition is excellent; the paper shows its natural patina of time without extensive tears, although small signs of oxidation (rust) due to old metal pins on the left side are noticeable.

* Estimated value of the document: Between €50 and €90.
* Valued elements: The exceptional engraving of the Jerez cellar, the Colombian destination of the route, and the integrity of the commercial stamps make this piece a splendid collection witness.
