We do hope you find interest with this site. Items presented are but a few recently gathered for a future publication.
Item description, measurements and approximate values have been given throughout this site. We have purposely taken a conservative, rational, and sensible approach with regard to suggested value. We also remind the collecting historian that we consider that an item of exception condition or rarity will 'value add' to our initial minimum price.
The value placed on these items will always remain secondary to preservation, and act as an incentive to retain these items for future generations and admire.
