She had absolutely no knowledge of what it was other than the need for her to hire a dumpster to throw it into. She started thinking that perhaps some of the tools were saleable so she posted photos on a collectors listserve. Included in the photos was a Picturephone. Some of the collectors besieged her with request to donate it to their personal collections or private museums. However, others suggested she list it on eBay. The auction closed a short while ago and she is in the process of collecting over $21,000 from John La Rue's museum in California: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-El...ower-Unit-/300853333667?autorefresh=true Not only did she score big-time, but she has a number of other items that are potentially of considerable value.
