........and so they just lay up there for 70 years!
Ha ha ha ha ha, totally whack!
Generally I totally agree with you! But I know of a few counterexamples.
Some 30 years ago they found 200 finished and another 150 semi finished pigskin Luger holsters at a manufacturers plant.
At about the same time I went to a Turk shop in Aschaffenburg (northern Bavaria). The owner had offered some hundreds of shoes and boots from the 1930s in our newspaper. I only wanted check out if there is some military footwear in between. When I arrived, the owner of the house showed me a board partition behind the old pigeonry with about 400 pairs of all kind of old footwear. Nothing military, but some great handmade shoes and boots.
Imagine the value of that, right after the war! But it was very well hidden till then.
I later found out that the house once belonged to a Jewish shoemaker who left Germany in the early 1930s.
Thanks
