Does your family have any heirlooms?

    Just wondering if anyone else has any interesting ones. I was given a compass that belonged to a relation because I was the only blood relation he knew that had the same name as his great grandfather. The original owner of the compass was a seaman way way back. (It always reminds me of the pulp fiction dude who keeps the watch up his arse for safekeeping in 'Nam :D - probably because the compass is an old style one with a flip up case like the old pocket watches on a chain.)

    Weird as it sounds Napkin holders :)

    Yup there was a set of a dozen. Got split between me and the only other Murphy boy in the family.

    Theyre actaully very cool. Made of gold and silver and have the family crest on them.

    Nice on special occasions
