<p>[QUOTE="redidbull, post: 2243684, member: 15253"]Hello, I found this site searching for forums dedicated to antiques. My Mom passed away 8 years ago and my Dad 4 years ago. I inherited my childhood home. The house was built in 1920 and my Dad owned it for 70 years. He was the last in his Family and my Mom only has 1 sister left. My Grandfather lived with my Dad and my Aunt for many years before my Parents met and got married. As a result I inherited a house full of a lot of old items. My Parents often got things as their siblings passed. My Son now lives at the house so there has been no urgency to clean it which men I have done little. On top of the furniture, steamers trunks, glassware, my Dad was a Millwright in a factory for 33years meaning tools, tools, and more tools. My plan of attack is get rid of known junk. I know because things are old doesn't mean value but there are things that are there that have no value. I will be asking lots of questions and apologize in advance. This is not a strong point for me. Oh yea my Dad was also a bottle collector. It never ends. Thanks in advance. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
