Everything in that drawer outlived the person who could explain it.
You didn't inherit the object. You inherited the question — and one day an insurer, an executor or a buyer will ask it out loud. The answer was written down when the thing was new. We go and find it — and tell you how strongly it holds up, naming every source.

Museums and heritage institutions: the same network, at collection scale →
Somebody kept it for a reason. Now you can say what it was.
The claim, the estate, the sale, the grandchild who asks — the record is worth having before any of them arrive, and it costs less to make today than on the day it's needed.
The insurer
The list they ask for, with the record behind each line — before the claim, not during it.
The estate
A record before the argument. What each thing is, agreed while everyone is still talking.
The sale
The record goes with the object. A buyer pays for what can be shown, not what is said.
The family
Where there is a name, a person. The story, kept as new records surface.
How it works
Three steps. The first one is free.
Photograph it. One picture is enough to ask.
We tell you what we see. You tell us if we're right.
Your report, within a day. How strongly its story holds up — and who says so.
This is what you get. It is real, and it is ours.
photo owed
A low score is a score. It means the paper is thin — not that the object is wrong.
The score says how strongly the record holds up. The range beside it says how sure we are. Every register we opened is named — and so is every one that had nothing.
We won't tell you an object is genuine. Nobody honest can, from a photograph. We'll tell you whether its story stands up.
The report is where the discovery starts.
Open an account and every object you verify has somewhere to live — its report, its value, its story. Then the connections begin to show.
Give it a home. Your objects, their reports and what they're worth, in one place.
Follow its story. The people, places and sales it passed through, as they come to light.
Bring your collection. Run a query.
The same network, at collection scale. Every object gets a record, every record links across houses, and the institution keeps 70% of what its records earn.
