[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 351091, member: 147"]We donated a collection Boehm porcelain birds to a local Audubon Society when my parents passed away. We settled on the Audubon because we learned that if you donate something to a museum, or the like, and what is given is nothing like what they normally have, the IRS will not allow a tax deduction. So, you can't give a gift of old tools to a local doll museum and expect to be able to deduct it as a charitable contribution, you can forget it! This is only for gifts, if you are selling the items then that is a whole other thing :)[/QUOTE]
