[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an oriental rug my great grandfather rolled himself up in to cross the border, which saved his life. We also have a Marc Chagall painting that allegedly the artist gave my granduncle in exchange for saving his life.[/quote] Ok you have to tell the rest. I have an old 2 pronged fork that came from my DH's parents. Allegedly it once belonged to Edgar Allen Poe who was related to someone among his ancestors' families, but my sister says "do you have a letter of provenance?" Um, no. My good friend from h.s. has a knife with a bone handle, I think it's from a deer, and the sheath is the hide with the fur on it. It is accompanied by a letter. The ancestor who owned it went on a buffalo hunt and the letter describes the hunt (yes, the thousands of buffalo slaughtered, etc). I think he was an army surgeon or something, the hunt was in the 1870's. [/quote]
