    I'm going to guess the coin is going straight into the cabinets?

    There was never a doubt in my mind that the coin would be going directly from his hands into an available spot as soon as it got its acetone bath. ;) :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    The guy passed in September, his 2 step sons came up from London last weekend to take personal items and paid me to clear the rest.
    I don't know what they took but it appears most of the stuff is undisturbed.

    Their mother passed 17 years ago and it turns out I knew her, she was a work colleague over 40 years ago.

    Again, I just can not wrap my head around the fact that people pay you to haul this stuff out of these houses. :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::wideyed::wideyed::wideyed::wideyed::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    More booty to go into the various cabinets of coins, medals & the liquor cabinet which is bursting at the seams. ;):playful::playful: :woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::D

    @Poisonivy - might like to see the sewing box. :happy::happy:

    Pip, Squeak and Wilfrid would get my immediate attention - who dumps Grandpa's medals? Then the Victorian mourning earrings; that stuff never made it across the Atlantic. At least not much.

    I'd say sulphide, too.

    Yeah, I don't get families sometimes, but hey, at least it isn't landfill!

    I'm with Peggy. I can't understand how people leave this stuff behind, and pay someone to take it away.
