I think if it was something with such historical and cultural significance I would have donated it to the appropriate museum or library or whatnot....EXCEPT f it was, say, a 1920s-30s original Chanel or Lucien Lelong dress, in which case, I'd probably have a major ethical dilemma on my handsBaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655974554267650893.post-13776805294360558962010-11-15T12:49:04.453+00:002010-11-15T12:49:04.453+00:00Oh wow, what a find!

I often day dream about this sort of thing when I'm in the charity shops.<br />Being totally honest, I think maybe I'd be tempted to take it, sell it and spit the profits with the charity... <br />Or maybe I'd let them have it all. I actually surprise myself at my honesty sometimes - a fair few found handbags with cash and phones in have gone intact to the police from me in the last few years. It'd be a hard choice though!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972476639063673850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655974554267650893.post-33663220460685329172010-11-15T12:30:43.739+00:002010-11-15T12:30:43.739+00:00This is amazing!

I've not had a big discovery, but I once found a wonderful old suitcase from 1945 in a charity shop (it has the makers stamp and production date stamped inside). It was priced at a fiver, which I thought was good as I've seen them on Ebay going for twenty odd quid. I did ask the lady in the shop if they'd thought about Ebaying it, but she said that the charity didn't do that sort of thing. So, despite not needing it, I bought it... and a wonderful filing case it is for all my tax returns!Gemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810138152483666653noreply@blogger.com
