Collections

[Custer148]

Oh no , not what they were worth . But to a teenager it was a lot of money . They were listed and priced. Mother's idea to insure them .

Thank goodness for a mom's smart ideas.

A rancher in the county I used to live in had a museum quality collection of about 80 Winchester rifles. Some one broke into his house and took all of them. He didn't have them insured -- he didn't think anybody would steal them. They suspected his kid but they couldn't prove anything.

That is very unfortunate. I inherited an 1866 Winchester Rifle from my Grandfather which has been in my family sense it was bought new and I would be quite upset if someone stole it.

I did not see your post when I posted the one on USA Stamps, sorry.

I have been collecting New USA Stamps for about 20 years, although I have not worked on it in the last 10 years. I would like to get started back on it now that I cannot work. I collect only new never hanged stamps. Would like to get into more of the Masonic first day covers.
