This is one image of part of my grandparents' ketuba. I'm also uploading another part; hopefully between the two we can learn more. (Sorry I didn't have the actual ketuba to scan a full image.). I'd like to learn whatever I can: Hebrew dates, Hebrew names, the location of the chuppa as close as possible (or just "Philadelphia"?); what was the dowry? I think the names of witnesses is out of view.

Thank you. Will upload the other view now.

Thanks so much.

The signatures of the witnesses are not in the images. These signatures are often illegible, but often one of the witnesses was the rabbi of the synagogue where the marriage took place.
