[QUOTE="Joey Ely Wicks, post: 9785083, member: 86641"]I believe I have European ancestry (my paternal grandmother (half German), she was adopted). I have been researching my lineage for years. I hesitate to do the DNA test because, despite the disclaimers, you never know what else it can be used for. I was browsing through the prices that others have sold similar items for, and I was shocked to see how high some of them were. However, I'm glad to have spoken with you so that I can get a better sense of how much my own item might be worth. I have a lot of things that I need to identify and potentially appraise as I am trying to declutter my apartment. Of course, I won't be getting rid of any personal items or family heirlooms. Unfortunately, I don't have any space for these things, and I'm also concerned about my grandchildren playing around them. Since I can no longer keep things in the basement of the house I rent, everything is currently stored on my sun porch, and I'm going through each item one by one.

It's funny how it reminds me of the time when we used to play Atari! :)[/QUOTE]
