All these comments sound like a replay of my own thoughts. I too have a large collection of "stuff". Some of it is old, unusual or even unique: tools, guns, war relics, old jugs and bottles, signs. Some things were built by my father (table, desk, etc.) None of it is particularly valuable, but I've enjoyed it and display much of it in my home. Most of it come down through my family, and now it has reached the end of the line--me. I have two daughters, but neither have any interest in most of my stuff, other that what they might bring on Craigslist. I have a project underway to help them out when I'm gone (I'm 75 now, and live alone), so I'm trying to photograph the antique stuff and my tools to develop a "catalog" in order to give them an idea of what each item is and an approximation of how much it might be worth.
Lots of things that hold just sentimental value to me will, I know, simply be tossed in the dumpster when I'm gone. For instance, I have an old bloodstained shirt that my great grandfather was wearing when he was murdered in about 1876. Neither of my daughters gives a hoot about the shirt, and why should they? Oh, well, when I leave here I guess I won't much care what happens to my stuff. Problem is, I do care now.
