[QUOTE="grimgame13, post: 85988, member: 1181"]Helping my mother clean out her storage the other day, I stumbled across some neat items from my fathers side of the family. Just looking to get a little information and maybe ball park values for the items. Items: I'm going to assume never before seen photos from WW2 depicting piles of dead jews that my grandfather took. (not pictured) Photos an FBI agent(grandfather) took of the 1971 Alaska Airlines flight 1866 crash depicting them retrieving the bodies and doing what I assume are autopsys. (not pictured) War Map III featuring the Pacific Theater. Fold out map of the Pacific Theater. The map is in pretty good shape. It's torn in a few areas where the folds are, but the actual visual part is perfect. Set of pipes. The two dark ones I have information on. The other two I do not. The white one has flowery designs on it(cannot see in picture), I get a Japanese feel from it. The metal toys are pretty self explanatory. The golden bar item, not sure if it's all gold or gold at all. Again picture quality sucks, but on the front it has "The Southbridge Lion" On the top, the actual Southbridge lion in the middle with 1829 and 1929 on either side and "The Delaware and Hudson Company on the bottom" On the back it reads "Commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the first successful trip made in america by a steam locomotive at Honesdale, Pennsylvania August 8 1829 by The Southbridge Lion driven by Horatio Allen" Sorry for the novel of a post. Any information received is appreciated.[/QUOTE]
