... we're about to inventory it, but I can recall from memory that there's 2 cadet grey uniforms, both 1800s vintage, 2 1920s OD dress uniforms with cross-stitched patches, several serge uniform shirts, 1950s dress blouse with C/Col rank, almost any annual you could want, watch fobs, service and campaign covers, brass insignia, a 1908 class ring, and negatives of old main burning.

plus there's more that I can't recall....

the WW1 collection is easier to liquidate - it's WW1. The Aggie collection needs a more focused approach. I want to try and find a buyer through TexAgs.

Oh, the ring stays with my mom, and the negs stay with me. ;-)

Or you could donate it to the Sanders Center and call it a huge tax write off while preserving history for all to see.

Good Idea. They are always looking for some of these items. $$ in hand is nice, but to capture some of that history for the Cadets of the future.

You could certainly put the yearbooks up for sale, but I would encourage you to see if the Sanders Center would be interested in those uniforms. What a great collection! Can you put up some photos?

I can put you in touch with the curator, if you are interested.

If you have an Olio, I would be interested. Seriously, though. Sanders Center would be more than happy to have some of that stuff.

Iirc, we have an olio. I think my mom needs the $.

What's the total number of Olios out there? Something crazy like a couple dozen or so right?

I would be interested in a Olio as well and any yearbooks from 1903 - 1919. I do have some interest in the brass insignia.

Frankenstein, I would be very intersted in the yearbooks. I've been collecting them for a while. Please shoot me an email @ bls1209@gmail.com

Would love to get an Olio. My office has a complete collection minus the Olio.

Definitely would be interested. I will send you a PM.

Jock 07 - I think I heard around 15 (if that many) and most are in private collections.

Also would be very interested in 1904-1906 yearbooks if you have them. My great grandfather was '07 and I have the 1903 and 1907 (although 07 not in good shape). Would love it if we could chat. Thanks!

thar - Dallas Public has Olios - don't know which ones !
