Count me in the Sentimental group. I have several items which belonged to various ancestors. Several of them would have some monetary value but others virtually none. They will be passed on to family, but none sold, By Me.

One item of no monetary value hangs proudly in my house. It was given to me several years back by my Mother's youngest brother. It is two 1"x3" boards a bit over 2 feet long. Near one end a hole was drilled & a heavy wire runs through making a hinge. the other end is tapered & rounded to make a handhold. It now has a shiny greasy looking appearance. Anyone know what it was for?

My Uncle told me my Grandfather had made it but when my Mother was growing up using it was one of her jobs. As I said moneywise, valueless, but worth a bunch to me.
