We have a shelf with... stuff on it. It's maybe 50% heirlooms. Maybe 30%. Enough that I think of it as the heirloom shelf. I acquired some new stuff at the last family reunion, and was inspired to have a go at drawing it. And a nail. The nail is one of those not-an-heirloom objects that is part of the inspiration-objects Venn Diagram. Look, you can see the composition works better with the nail.
The nail might not be super exciting, just a nail that I may make into a ring someday, depending on my supernatural fighting needs, but the medallion is an inherited item. I haven't been able to figure out anything about it, other than there are similar medallions out there.
See? Similar design, but not the same. A little research aside for you.
The knife is an award for the Pitney Bowes Sales Leadership Club of 1965. Had I heard of Pitney Bowes before receiving this knife? No, no I had not. But they were a company my grandpa must've worked for in 1965.
The CTA token was just one of those random objects in a jewelry drawer, like buttons and safety pins, but I liked the look of it.
There are so many enamel owl pins in the world, I have uncovered nothing of use about this one.
I found someone in DC was once selling a pair of earrings like this one, but that's all I've been able to find. They didn't even post any useful details.
