<p>[QUOTE="Bluebutterfly55, post: 510456, member: 4297"]At this time, I don't want to post photos of what I have, and even if I did, intrinsically you might not think they were of high value unless you knew where they came from and their "back story". . They are items from the 1950's so they aren't "antiques" in the sense that you are probably thinking. I already know, however, that they are high value in terms of their historical/unusual connections to Southern California. As indicated several museums have said they would literally build a display to show these items, yet they have no budget to acquire these items. That's the basis of my overall question to members here. Should I just bypass these museums and focus on private buyers on ebay or an auction house? Or are there museums that will pay for items?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
