re: What are some things you own now that you think will increase in value later?

You forgot to ask the most important thing.....our home address.


Just kidding. Just a few things.

1. The 1890s Master Clock from the old Western Union in Spartanburg, SC. Made by the Self Winding Clock Co. They closed the office in the early 70s and my took the clock when he and two other employees were clearing the office.

2. Two Ni'ihau shell leis. The current generation is the last of a dying breed of craftspeople who collect the rare shells and make leis. The process is long and labor intensive. Most young native Ni'ihau people no longer stay on the island and instead bounce over to Kauai, Oahu or Maui for opportunity.

3. Tony Gwynn game used helmet. He wore it in a game against the Astros in 99 and collected hit #2966 while going 1 for 3 in that game. The brim has his signature and the inside has the date and hit number.

4. Ten acres in Park Co. Colorado. Within an hour of Breckenridge. I think it will be very valuable in 20+ years.
