You ever have a interesting looking item you found but knew nothing or very little about it ? You posted the item on the forum when you first found it only to not get a lot of help in identifying it or just enough to point you in the right direction . Then later on as you learn more or "accidentally come across info " or found some great info by researching about it only to make the item even more interesting , cool and special ? What you do now , it would seem a bit odd to re post the same find ?
I think this very subject would make an excellent sub-category to the forum , a Show & Tell so to speak! The Item you re post now is not just " here is my find" but has a story , maybe a bit of history and possibly provenance or at the very least the most up to date information with better pictures after it was cleaned up some ! Again I don't want to just see a find , I want its background , its age , maybe who wore/had it , maybe you know who's it was and returned it to them . I think I would like this sort of category better than The Display Case one or maybe we could merge the two into one ?
Would anyone else be interested in this type of forum ?? Lets hear your ideas!
