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.

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.

This is a pretty fascinating subject, for me anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Cross

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.

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!

If you're in Port Alberni this weekend maybe think of throwing in a stink bid on this one....



http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lo...6-c-cb54c35841

Someone make damn sure Ceci isn't traveling to BC this weekend. 105 carats would look pretty good in the provincial crown jewels.
