Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

“I let my kid help one time and he lost the damn key. It’s my own fault really. I just hope that key turns up again soon.”

The owner, probably.
