Kinda related - I saw an SS Officer's helmet for sale at a private collection for $6000USD. I asked the guy if he know who it belonged to, and he said that if that was known, it would be worth twice as much or more, depending on the officer.
That phone would be an incredible artifact to own.
One of my bucket list things is to pickup a genuine trinket from an ancient civilization...a coin, statue etc from Rome, China, Persia etc that is legitimately over 2000 years old...
Completelyagree. That would be just about the coolest thing. I'm not much into collecting but having something of historic significance would be extremely cool. I'm amazed that some of those old coins are as affordable as they are.
There are tons of phony claims out there, but I like to think pieces of the True Cross exist out there. It makes me feel like Indian Jones.
This quote is funny:
Quote:
There is no abbey so poor as not to have a specimen. In some places there are large fragments, as at the Holy Chapel in Paris, at Poitiers, and at Rome, where a good-sized crucifix is said to have been made of it. In brief, if all the pieces that could be found were collected together, they would make a big ship-load. Yet the Gospel testifies that a single man was able to carry it.
— Calvin, Traité Des Reliques

If you find yourself in the LA area and you are interested in WWI, WWII and even older war gear, there's a German shop in this place called Alpine Village in Torrance, CA. Some great stuff. They literally have one of Kaiser Wilhelm's sport rifles.
This is an amazing Seuss drawing...really a very rare thing to see. There are a few cat in the hats, a few happy birthday Sally type drawings. But there are very few publisher's drawings with this kind of detail and even fewer from his first real job at Judge magazine. And it's not racist!
