Amazing Finds
Congrats on the find. I would bet some dead collector had them and Mom did not have a clue what they were?
Recently, a widow gave a bunch of old stuff to the Salvation Army near here. It was Nazi uniforms and flags that her old man had acquired over the years. She had no idea they were worth anything. The guy who picked them up for the store said he could not 'remember' any uniforms or flags and none showed up at the store, either [gee, I wonder what happened?] I bought a "Stop" pistol he had brought home from her when she told me the sad story.
A buddy was in Salvation Army store with his kids...the little boy wanted Dad to buy him a toy pistol....and he was holding a .45 cal 'Liberator' pistol priced for 50 cents. It still had ammo in the handle!
It never hurts to look, eh?
