t: It has a standard British Dart board in a nice case with the scoreboard, lots of crown pint glasses, Guiness advert and glasses, etc. Just waiting forever for the bar to be completed so I can finish decorating!!!! ;)

I don't have anything as grand as the picture, but I do have a share of stock from the titanic and a piece of coal set on a mirrored display case from it. I too wish that everyone would leave the ship alone. t:

Boisee, I would love to see a picture of that bar once you get it all finished! Please post a picture of it.

I have a book published in 1912 (oh, it's a first edition) about the sinking of the Titianic. My grandfather collected it in northern Indiana (Culver) in the 30's. In the back they have a list of the survivors and the dead.
As this was one of those "instant" books that come out right after a disaster, and even today, is not terribly rare. ("Story of the Wreck of the Titanic: The Ocean's Greatest Disaster") The book is in quite good condition, considering what I've seen on EBay for similar copies.
However what is interesting about this is my grandfather ran into one of the "dead" in Indiana. One August Winnerstrom, to be exact, who obliged by signing the thing with a nice little flourish "the dead man" and under his name "still living".
What's the value of this thing?
Probably just priceless. (At least to me and my family.)
