I am 71 years old and trying to take stock of what I own that my children with either not be interested in or not recognize any emotional value to. I think my collection of demitasse cups falls into that category and I would hate to see them end up in some garage sale for 25 cents! My great grandparents were missionaries in Burma in the late 19th century until WWII and some of my demitasses are from their time there. Most of them were gifted to me by a great, great, great Aunt from Iowa (she had stored my great grandparent's possessions in her basement). She passed away at 96 when I was 14. My question is, since the collection is made up of single examples of each demitasse would I be better advised to find a collector interested in the LOT or try to find collectors interested in each individual piece? I have included some photos but I have a total of 16 pieces. (Please forgive my dark fingernails...I had just finished polishing silver.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anna</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks you for your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
