Just amazing. If there's any clue at all about history of an item, I am after it.

If I get an old autograph album, I research all the names. If I get old letters, the same. One time I obtained an old theological book and happened to see the owner's name was "C. Wesley".Yes, it turned out to be Charles Wesley, early founder of Methodist church. That was cool.

And I love returning something to a family after generations.
