My great grandfathers shotgun
Posted on 1/2/19 at 10:44 am to athenslife101
My family isn't real big into the heirloom stuff. Couple shotguns, pieces of furniture.
My wife's family, on the other hand, racked up on some jewelry and home furnishings back in the day that's now worth like 250K. I don't even think the counts as heirlooms. We'll use the home furnishings and she already has one ring that appraised for 40K (used it as her engagement ring), but the rest of that shite can go. It's a couple more high class rings and a few Rolex watches. She is the only heir, and I'm trying to think of the best way to convince her to sell it all except the one ring she wears. I don't see the point of having 150-200k worth of rocks and time tellers sitting in a safe.

My grandfather already did pawn it once and my grandmother went to the pawnshop and got it back, I’ve already been told I’m not allowed to sell it.

yes, my great grandfather had a collection of music boxes. It was argued at the time that it was the greatest in the country. People came from all over the country to see his music boxes.
Anyway, I have one. Each grandchild was given one. The rest are in a museum but still owned by the family.
my wife has a family heirloom clock and chair.

not anything worth any money if that’s what you’re asking.
but i have a small gold cross pin that probably cost less than $5 at any store that sells religious items that i consider priceless.
when i was in 5th grade or so i committed 3 errors in a baseball game.
my grandfather (not a big baseball fan, but often went to my games) told me he could “fix” my glove and took it home with him that night.
next day he brought it back to me with that cross pinned to it. Said he’d had it blessed a few years before and it never let him down.
next game was error free, and i even made couple plays that was above my typical talent level.
that pin has now been on every glove i’ve owned since then.
grandfather died a few years later and i quit playing organized ball in my mid 30’s.
but i’d rub my thumb across that pin before every game from sometime after his death in ‘94 until i quit playing in 2013 or so.
last glove i owned is picked up with cross still on it.
one day when situation is right, i’ll pass it to one of my sons (or a grandson maybe)

Yes. I have my grandmother's engagement ring and also her Eastern Star ring. My sister has my mom's wedding rings and her watch.
My brother has our deceased father's wedding ring.
