It would be fair to say that most items posted in any of our sections are mostly true Ethnic (native) and could also be fairly described as "Antique", but there are also those which perhaps do not fall accurately into either category. Examples would be native jewellery and other accessary items such as native headwear/helmets etc.
Those of us who collect, generally have other items which they seek comment or information on,..... items which do not fall exactly into the categorys offered
This Forum is very informative and maybe a further section could be added to cover the above.
The knowledge held by present Members is absolute gold, and should be shared openly with those who come after us. As we know there has been untold information lost for ever when the older Members pass.
Perhaps the Moderators could look at this.

As an afterthought perhaps the Moderators would consider dropping off the word "Ethnographic" and simply call the section "Miscellania" which would solve the issue?

Yes I understood that Jim.
As you have said, the Forum is an excellent reference point and contains a wealth of knowledge. It would be a great loss if as a result of Members passing, that it was to deminish in content. Surely allowing other interesting items to be openly discussed should not be looked upon as against the "rules", but looked upon as a way to enhance it's content and attract more active Members for the future.
