Definitely dig it out! My husbands Grandmother sold her dining room set which I dearly loved when I was in the hospital having surgery. She figured no one was interested!
She sold it for pennies on the dollar. I would have paid 20 times more than what she sold it for.
Grandparents and parents don't seem to know that we would love to have the items. Not only for the value, but for the memories! Memories are priceless!
