All of which has nothing to do with the scenario.
The fact remains, anything is better than nothing. Although, having "something", absent the will to use it, is pointless.
The fact remains that I would never find myself in a situation where all I had was an antique henry. I’d never buy something like that in the first place. And If I acquired it by dead relatives, it’d either get sold immediately or locked up for posterity...possibly not even in my house...if it really was valuable.
If all you had was a ford model T would you use it to commute to work? See, ridiculous question ain’t it?
