Creepy, but who cares?
It’s not like Hitler is getting the money.
I’m tired of outraged people.
Great…….now your comment will now create a double outrage.
Hitter’s watch, and your comment combined.
😆😂🤣🤪

Me too. I’m outrage that they are demanding that this family donate something worth 1 million dollars to a museum.
If they want to sell it, it’s their right. If you want it in a museum, you buy it and donate it.
In the 1930s my great-uncle (My grandmother’s brother) owned a small gas station/diner North of Birmingham. The Chicago and St. Louis mobs used to send runners down to the Miami mob along that route. Phones could be tapped, and mail intercepted so they used couriers.
My uncle had a man pull in one day with a flat tire and overheating engine. He’d already had a flat so he was down two tires. Back then oil had to be changed every 600 miles. He needed an oil change, some other minor repairs on his car, two tires, and a replacement rim for the one he’d been running with a flat. It took them until the next day to get the wheel. So he ate dinner at the diner and stayed in the guest room.
They could not take a check from an Illinois bank for the repairs. So he paid about half with cash and swapped my grand uncle a fancy Swiss gold pocket watch, and a 38 Smith and Wesson Model 10 revolver for the balance and promised to pick them up and pay the tab on his way back.
The guy never came back and my great uncle became the proud owner of a really nice Swiss watch and revolver
Later on, the guy was arrested and they saw who he was. My great uncle owned Machine Gun Kelly’s watch and revolver.
If only he had the provenance.
You can believe it or not.
