Reminds me of when George Washington's hatchet went on the market. You know, the one he chopped down the cherry tree with. The darn thing was in great condition. If fact, it looked like it had never been used. When asked about it, the auctioneer responded that the handle had been replaced three times and the head twice....but it was the original. Yep, it had history.
