[QUOTE="Hamburger, post: 4062374, member: 17940"]Hello Keith. A warm welcome and condolences at this difficult time. Many here have an idea what you're having to deal with. A lot of us are from your (our!) generation and quite a few are a good deal older. So as well as the forum experts with their specialist knowledge in particular fields you'll find people who have experience of sorting through their parents' estates -- and others who remember everything from when it was new! ;) [B]Any Jewelry[/B] has already given you a couple of good tips. I'll just add: (1) If you have the space, consider leaving smaller items to deal with later. (2) Don't assume that the things your parents thought were valuable are in fact worth much -- and vice versa. They probably had some things which are now worth considerably less than they once cost, but possibly also some sought-after items that you wouldn't glance at twice. Look forward to seeing what you post once you're ready.[/QUOTE]
