Hi,

Is the stuff collectible? You bet. What's it worth? GOOD QUESTION! It's 
worth what the market will bear, but what does that mean.

In all seriousness, there are specialists out there that can help 
determine the value of these items to collectors. I watch Antiques Road 
Show on PBS and they almost always have collections on there. You can 
clearly report the provenance, and document it. That would make any / all 
of the items more valuable in the collector sense.

In "that world", provenance is everything.

So, document away and then list it on eBay, but, and speaking as a selfish 
FOT, please let the FOT list know first!!!

Regards,
rml
p.s. I just moved from my house of 35 years and my parents house of over 
50 years. I know what you're talking about!!
