I was just watching TV today (Malcolm In The Middle), when my Mum walked in. Apparently my Dad found a 1942 National Identification card, apparently belonging to a Dutch Jew. We were wondering what (if anything) you're supposed to do if you find something like that?

You should mail it to me, so that I may eBa- er, file it and make lots of mo- preserve this artifact for future generations.

Eeep.
Who would want a 1942 ID card? Somebody planning on time-travelling and taking the place of this Dutch guy?

All I know is that it is old. Old=Money, and if you get something for free, it doesn't matter how much money you sell it for, you will still have made profit$.

It was in a bin in the back yardy thing. It had been there for some time, it was all slimey. It's drying out now.
Find the nearest antiques store and get them to check if it's authentic. Then maybe auction it off. Just don't eBay the thing.

another option is to find the owner or his/her family. think they might want a peice of their history.

Your dad is going through other people's bins??? :eek:
Sorry, that impresses me somehow more than that identity card. I grew up around stuff like that. But to go through other people's bins... :eek:

Also, our bin. Not other people's.

Bah, humbug.

You should find the twat who threw this away and rough them up. What gives them the right to throw away fake antiques in other people's trash? Next time, they'd better bring a genuine article.

This time, I settle for nothing less than genuine Phoenician artifacts, or they're dead.
Maybe they got excited after finding it in their bins, but found the copyright notice?

And be sure that they come from Byblos, don't let them try and pass off any of that cheap crap from Tyre.

And then they threw it in someone else's bin because they couldn't stand the aura of dissapointment it was generating? You should do the same, keep the ID moving along.

One day I hope to find a 300-foot tall ziggurat in the bins.
