My grandfather's knife he took off a German in WWI
my father use to have a Nazi sword taken fron a German Colonel who surrendered. No idea what happened to it - last time I saw it I was still in High School
Looked like this as I recall.
probably worth a small fortune today

this is bringing back a lot of memories I haven't thought about in a LONG time....................
My father also had an assumed Revolutionary War muskeet he found when swimming in Lake Champlain as a kid. It had a compartment in the stock which contained a handwritten letter/message. Unreadable of course.
Another "don't know what happened to it" thingy.....................
Again probably a mid-teen last time I saw it.
Not unlike this

My other grandfather's US flag with 48 stars "disappeared", I know what you're talking about.
Pisses me off to this day since it was promised to me.

I have my grandfather's, which he used in his job as a wallpaper hanger when he was done painting Navy ship hulls in Brooklyn.
Looks kind of like that one.
that’s what they used years ago… cell…

I remember................
Dad giving us newspapers & Wisk & we knew what that meant. Clean the front window on the family vehicle - get into our PJs "WE'RE GOING TO THE DRIVE-IN". We'd ride the rides in the PJ's before the feature began. Good memories. Sad that it's gone.
Whoelse spent time there as a kid?
Whoelse has evwn been to a drive-in?

If we went to the drive in with our best girl, it's understandable that we didn't remember the movie.
