    I guess the thorough thing to do would be to go up through the dealer’s accreditations, but I’ve no interest in that personally. I’d never want to endanger a piece of history with my grubby little hands - I lose enough things around the house as it is! XD

      I have two historical items, neither worth more than $20 or has other significant value. I spent more than 10 times the cost on getting museum-grade framing for one of them so I could display it and not destroy it. The other is 20th century and was mass produced, but is kept in conservation-appropriate conditions nonetheless.

      Anything extra I get would be equally treasured, but I can’t fund destruction any more than I already have. If only it were easier to get reproductions from the rightful owners!
