okay, I just looked up on Ebay, and they only go for less than 100 and most I saw was 500. forget it. that sword matters more than that. there are things I would sell to pay the monthly bills, but that is only worth a cabin, albeit a 'cheap' cabin. :)
Now my father needs to tell his grandson the story so he'll understand the passing along.
Once his parents things were gone through, we didn't end up with much, but they were things no one else much noticed to that I snagged up...
my Uncle James' marbles and toy cars and his pipes. he was the eldest, but 'simple in the head', so really my father was 'eldest'. anyways... he loved marbles, just like me. and toy cars. and he always smoked a corncob pipe and mostly fashioned his own. I have 5 of them. and...
I got my Papa's church hat. Several years ago I gave that to my Bro-in-law for Christmas.
and shhhhhhhhh, I got Papa's pearl cuff links, and my great-grandfather Kelton's gold cuff links with K etched in them. I am holding on to those. I am not sure my nephew appreciates cufflinks, I need to decide. and if one of the nieces finds a male person (or female) who does... or if they themselves do?
I love french shirts that need cuff links. those cuff links are precious.
Just occurred to me, maybe I could offer them for weddings, then they return to the vault? |
