Owners of nice art, guns, pens, whatever their passion often feel that by donating them to a museum and taking the deduction they are preserving the item so all can appreciate forever more. It's never really worked that way.
Things left in families have disappeared into drug money for the third generation, or power bills if left to museums because insurance rates went up. You can't control the future. Kevin, is R L selling books , paper , or back to guns? He is interesting and knowledgable |

He is selling mainly paper and his numerous books; he has guns on his table (vintage Colts & Winchesters) but I think they are under the auspices of his fellow table holders. (I'm not sure he's allowed to sell firearms any more).

The Pererson exhibition, I believe, was stipulated never to be 'deassesed' and that every piece was to be displayed.
If someone knows differently, please correct me. .

An "Annie Oakley" gun that sold for a very high price a couple of years ago was, in fact, not an "Annie Oakley" gun, but a Frank Butler gun. I wonder if the new owner realizes that?

On a side note I was sitting at the cross of main street and Madison road in Orange VA at about 8:30 AM Friday and the most lovely 28 or 29 Packard convertible with the rumble seat and golf bag door came riding by along with several other pre 1940 autos . I assume there was some sort of rally going on in the near vicinity this past weekend . |

Sometimes things are left in a family trust and then a semipermanent loan to an organization. That seems to work better provided that the family trustees are able to function rationally. Philmont Scout Ranch with which I am associated recently significantly increased size with the acquisition by semipermanent loan of the famous Chase Ranch and another smaller property.
