David SmithBarry, I wondered that too but then thought, A) it could have been stolen and the theif didn't know hwat they had or, more likely B) a family member or some other heir was cleaning out a closet or attic and found the itmes and had no clue what they were or how much they might be worth.
I am not married and have no kids and the only one with a real clue about what I have and what it might be worth is my Mother and that is because I have told her about my stuff and made a list of some of the more valuable pieces. If she were to die and the list were lost and then I were to die, my sister, niece and nephews wouldn't have a clue about my collection.
