<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3401545, member: 10461&quot;]I did notice the lack of rust on the staples and the freshness of the rubber bands, so perhaps not everything is 40-50 years old as I have guessed.&nbsp; However, I seriously doubt my own family members are &quot;setting this up as a test&quot; for me.&nbsp; You can tell by the musty &quot;old book&quot; smell that most of the contents of this box have been around for a while.&nbsp; Perhaps in a dry environment.&nbsp; I also think it was taken to another collector or dealer in more recent years for an appraisal or opinion, which would account for the newer rubber bands and notes and such.&nbsp; (I think I saw a note about &quot;appraised by so-and-so&quot; in there somewhere, but no date.&nbsp; Again, I&#039;ve only given a cursory look so far.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
