[QUOTE="matty2244, post: 253165, member: 5028"]Hello all! First off I would like to introduce myself, my name is Matt and I am new to the forum as of today. I have always had an interest in antiques based on my mother and father, who as of last month are now both gone. Its a sad time for us kids (37, 35, and 30) but we are getting through it. We are all very close so that is good in times like these. Along that note, my dad who just passed was quite the collector, as was his dad who passed in the 90s. Going through the house with my sisters we have found some interesting things. One of which is this old bible that I know was brought over "on the boat" with the first of my ancestors that came to Minnesota from Norway. No clue what something like this is worth (if anything), but figured I would start here. It is one awesome book to say the least! I will have some other things that I post on here too that we frankly have no idea what they are/they are worth etc. Our angle is not to sell everything, more to understand what it is/was and make the determination as to whether or not we want to let it go. It's tough as we know much if this is sentimental, but the more generations that get removed the sentiment decreases, etc. Thank you all in advance for the help :)[ATTACH=full]78198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]78199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]78200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]78201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]78202[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
