Like these from my collection. I made attempts to find family but no joy.

Yes! I've a few relating to my family and I treasure them.
I'd gladly give the ones that aren't my family to the rightful owners.
I've a collection of hand written documents/letters relating to a heroic deed by a young man in Staffordshire, late 1800's too, he and 3 of his friends walked onto a frozen lake, 3 fell through the ice, he saved 2 but the third drowned, a collection was made by local businessmen and he was presented with a silver, inscribed pocket watch for his heroism. (I wonder where that is now?) one day I'll find the rightful owner of the letters etc. . It's very moving stuff.

Wow...how lucky you are to have such a treasure trove of Family documents. There is so many unclaimed artefacts out there

I love ephemera. Through perseverance I've found some pretty interesting docs relating to my ancestors, mostly court summonses 😂 but one or two that helped me move on with research, also, lots that helped me understand what life was really like where they lived in the 1800's, it was pretty grim!
