This is the type of thing that brings mixed feelings. Her mother had a gift from her sister (or sister in law) and shared it with her child. The history and rarity brings that feeling back of something very special. But the potential $$$ & the responsibility(incl. financial) of it tend to win out on keeping a family heirloom once that full truth is brought to light on an item.
Is there any way you can update the New England episode of the roadshow around 87-90 about the conquistadors helmet that was found in the attic of a house there. This is my favorite episode.
I always have mixed feelings when I hear of someone selling a family heirloom. On the one hand, it makes me sad that it won't stay in the family and get passed down. On the other hand, sometimes a person needs the money more than the object. There can be various reasons for that - to pay medical bills, to pay off a home, to put away for retirement......who knows. But whatever the case, I'm glad there was enough interest to bring a high winning bid for the seller.
Oh my god how gorgeous. 😭

I'm really glad she DID share it at her 3rd grade class's show and tell. Children should be exposed to fine art, instead of the stuff called "art".
