Hey all!
My name is Melanie, and I am new here
I don't know anything really about collecting or selling WWII memorabilia, but I'm hoping to learn.
It all started about a week ago when I was cleaning out a closet my husband (we were just married in March of this year) had been using for storage, when I found a pair of what would appear to be Nazi boots.
As it turns out my husband has a vast collection of WWII items that his deceased father had left to him. When I found the boots, I got curious as to what else he had and began the journey of searching through old trunks, scrapbooks, photos....and I found so many interesting items! I can't begin to explain how it felt to me as I read, and touched these items....so strange, and at the same time exhilerating. To have so much history right there before my eyes.....
So, I've begun to try and figure out exactly what we have and what it may be worth as well as learning how to preserve certain items. I am hoping that some of you will be able to teach me thing or two! And I look forward to getting to know all of you
