[QUOTE="Steely, post: 425988, member: 3301"] Very cool!!! I found the same thing cleaning out my Mom's house. Books that I know were worth a ton of money- but they were distributed throughout the family - as they should have been. She had so many other antiques dating back to the beginning of the 1800's and we could not find anyone interested in purchasing them. She even had original, signed, Cecil Aldin pictures that were worth thousands - yet - where to sell them? She is selling most of the antiques on ebay for way below their value and holding onto the pictures from Aldin - and the rest she is trying to get the family to take. I don't know it if it the economy, but we could not even sell solid wood shelving on craig's list.....it was perplexing. I think the optimal thing are these artifacts to go to someone like you who truly values them. That is really cool. PS Terry you would have died with all the antique children's book my Mom had. A few I took - but I let my cousin take the rest since she collects them also - and has a son who is 5. Some of the also dated back to the early 1800's. They were AWESOME! All the cousins sat on the bed reading them, and laughing. I remembered most of them because my Mom read them to me as a child - it was really neat. [/QUOTE]
