Personally, I would never part with such a family heritage item like that! Let the auction houses have it after you are gone!

Glad you're keeping the drawing which is very nice. I worked for Grumman in the late 60's early 70's in plant 5. One late night working with my co-worker Artie we were at the right place and time. They were cleaning out the president's office with all the pictures being discarded seems all they wanted were the frames, so Artie and I split the pictures after taking them out of the frames. Each of us got about 15 of which some must have been one of a kind. Well, mine are all hanging in my man cave and wouldn't be sold.
