Criteria for Keeping Something

We work with a variety of clients and it is not uncommon for us to unveil strange and unique items. Sometimes the items discovered are pieces that go to something else. If you no longer have the item the pieces go to, get rid of the piece.

If the piece is broken or damaged, it should probably be tossed.

Occasionally, we come across items or pieces of items that the client does not recognize nor knows what it is or what it belongs to. In this case, discard of the piece.

Our rule when working with clients is "If you don't know what it is, get rid of it!"
