	How wonderful of you to 'rescue' those items. Wish they were my family. It always amazes me what people get rid of...such precious things like that. At least some people realize that somebody will want them...even if they sell on ebay.....far better than just going in the bin. Hope somebody claims them as their ancestors...that would be really something to feel proud of. Good on you!
