Sounds like a worthwhile trip - I have found many things of those eras at Antique shops very reasonable. Of course they are not huge finds but things that would appeal to me and my families. I would love to check it out. Marie

In every antique shop I visit, I ask if they have "any old paper", but be sure to buy only pre-1900 materials and don't pay much for any of it. Most any military materials are collectible and will only increase in value for your descendants.
