    What a fascinating way to make a living. The depth of knowledge and hard won experience it would take to own/curate a small museum like this is pretty impressive. Having run a small business I’m sure his days are long and the work is never done but his energy for the endeavour comes across in these episodes.

    My dad’s hobby was Civil War relic hunting. We lived near a battlefield. He had some great relics which now belong to my brother since my dad died. Some are in excellent shape, buckles, breast plates, buttons, bayonets, tons and tons of mini balls and more. Great history.

    Nothing as good as a video opening with a Christmas Tree. Un-Boxing vids are fun to watch, thanks Erik. Years back I had so much WWII memorabilia, US and German, but sold it all to help buy my first house. Erik your museum is such a Trever trove of history, you must make Gettysburg proud. Thanks to JD and Erik for this fine watch, and you ended the vid with more Christmas Trees.....

I can’t tell you the number of times I have received a package and what was inside rattled like a BB in a box car. Thank you so much JD and Erik! Merry Christmas to you both.
