Very cool Carlinsghost = I'd have it appraised and if it's worth a lot - buy a gun safe with humidity control to keep it in! Cheaper than having one constructed.
Think twice about museum loans if that ever comes up. My husband's
uncle had (he's since died) an extremely valuable jade collection.One of the big museums asked him to loan it for a show. A few of the most expensive pieces were stolen! Someone had obviously read up on the collection and knew what was what.
I have my grandmother's picture of JFK think it was one she hung in her country store. Doubt it's worth anything but love having it both because it was hers and hello, it's JFK!
