    Not a stupid purchase at all (assuming you didn't pay a fortune for them). There's nothing like holding a piece of history in your hand from such momentous times. I have a varied collection of items to which my wife would say ".......but its just a piece of rusty metal".

    Unfortunately not only women, but a lot of people don't appreciate these stuff.
    I feel like holding a piece of history in my hands when i inspect them whilst my friends and family look at them like they are junk
