RDUNE Posted October 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2020 Hello all, I recently got to pick through a house and the former occupant was a military paper collector. I made two trips, one in the car and one in the truck and I still had to leave things behind. Honestly, most of it is beyond my area of interest or knowledge and plan to pass nearly all of it on to new homes. In the meantime I thought I would start posting the images here in hopes that others will enjoy them and perhaps help with identifying some of them. MANY pics to follow. Thanks 🙂 -Ryan Looking for Purple Hearts to service members from Roanoke Virginia and the surrounding area (Bedford, Botetourt, Vinton, Salem, Floyd, Franklin, Craig, Giles, etc.) I'm willing to pay a premium. $$$ Also looking for: Purple Hearts named to service members buried in the Normandy Cemetery or Arlington Cemetery.

RDUNE Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted October 4, 2020 And there are still hundreds more, framed and unframed, all sizes. Cabinet cards, CDV's, loose photos, paperwork, albums, letters, etc. Plus thousands of non-military photos as well...

warguy Posted October 4, 2020 Share #7 Posted October 4, 2020 Wowza! Any early Marines? I am eagerly collecting Pre-WWII USMC material. Any Marine Corps Span Am era, WWI, Banana Wars, or China Marine related material is especially sought after. Let me know if you have something you want to part with. Link to post Share on other sites

sundance Posted October 4, 2020 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2020 That's an amazing haul. From what I read on this forum it's also quite valuable. Is there information on any of them identifying the person(s) in the pics? Link to post Share on other sites
