My sympathies on your loss... I am sure it would be appreciated that you are planning to keep something that they thought worth the effort to keep. You never know what you will find. I have a hand carved bone necklace that the great-grandparents got in South Africa after the Boer War (Gramps was a carpenter working there during the restoration). When I found it in my Great-Aunts jewelry, I knew nothing of its history and only a few stories of theirs. The only way I confirmed it was a family photo, that my cousin had, from about 1904 where Grams is wearing it!
