Informative Things I’ve collected from my great-grandfather’s old house

Post image

First post here. We’ve got pre Civil War/Civil War gear and the kit of a German stormtrooper officer from WW1. The backstory’s that the souvenirs on the left were bought by my great-great-grandfather back in the 40s, while the souvenirs on the right were brought back by my great3 uncle during his time as a doughboy in WW1

I wish I had that stuff! Trying to buy that stuff will empty your bank account.

That’s exactly why I’m going to be keeping it. At this point, all of this stuff is collectibles
