Close examnination of the image of the silver certificate reveals that the date/place line
was probably written at the same time that Carol Macmillen signed the certificate.
The signature by Adelaide Fairbanks was made with a different pen, or ink, if not at a
later time. The name Causey is not legible in the image provided. Was it on the overside
of the certificate?
What part of the US are you in? Knowing that might give provide some understanding of the
silver certificate's provenance.
Can you determine what the marking is after the name Fairbanks?
The date corresponds to the end of WWII, therefore anyone traveling from Paris to New York
at the time would likely have been in the military or diplomatic services.
