It never ceases to amaze me what items are just sitting around unknown for so long!! 
I have an Aunt who had a picture she picked up in Korea 40-50 years ago, it was on the wall for years, abused by kids etc. Then a couple of years ago a friend of hers sees the picture and states he has a friend at Sotheby's that he would like to have see the picture.....long story short the expert flies out from New York, flips over what he sees and offers to have it sold at auction. Would you believe my Aunt sold the picture (that she spent maybe $25.00 for) for over $500,000!!! Simply astounding!! 
You just never know!!

My grandparents on my mother's side (American) left behind a Mercury Grand Marquis, and no, not the newer ones. The old 1980's (B.C) one!!
