<p>[QUOTE="Angelina Dugo, post: 233942, member: 4582"]Yes, my mother in law passed and my husband and his sister inherited everything. His sister is too busy with work, and my husband wouldn't have any idea how to do any research on anything, so it's really been left up to me to find out what everything is in the best way to get things cleaned up and sold, minus a few pieces that we all want to keep between each other. It's just such a vast array of things. Like I said, Red Wing crocks and other branded crocks, vintage Tupperware that's still brand-new in the box, antique cash registers, antique and vintage type writers, antique furniture, large antique chests, and a lot of old phone stuff. The overwhelming part is that we do need to get the house sold. I don't have nearly enough room in my house to bring the stuff in, as we have five kids and we wouldn't want them to ruin anything. So my best suggestion was that we at least try to get everything boxed up and put into a storage unit and then we could sort through it from there. There's also an antique market in our area that I've considered renting a table at. I've just never done anything like this at all, so I don't want to go in there not knowing at all what I'm doing. And for now I'm really just taking a few pieces like you've seen here to try to find out what they are and what to do with them and the best way to get things sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
