Island Movers in Hawaii packed the item in its own custom wooden crate. One of the owners of the document saw the item packed.  The crate was shipped from Hawaii on Oct. 10, 2014 (as part of a larger shipment of other household effects) to Northern California.  The crate with the Lincoln document has not arrived, though the balance of the shipment arrived safely on December 12, 2014.
