TED AND NANCY MORELLS' COLLECTORS CORNER If you are a collector contact us and share your collection. Nancy has over 1000 Dolls from the 1920's to present and Old Toys from the 1930's to present. Pictures of some of her collection is available by clicking the link below. I collect Baseball Cards and have over 7,000 most I haven't gone through yet. Quite a few from the 60's to present. I also have a sword that I found in the mountains near Alpine, Texas in 1959. It has been positively identified now! This sword is a Knights Templar Masonic Sword of the (Texas Order). We are working on a more specific date. I will post any new data as I receive it. I have taken the sword to the Queen Mary when it was in California, Knotts Berry Farm Museum also in California, San Jacinto Museum in Texas, Will Rogers Museum in Oklahoma, and The Alamo in San Antiono, Texas. Many Universities and Antique Appraisers have also looked at it.
WHO IS OTIS?
I have taken it to the Knights of Columbus, Lutherans, and many Jewelers in an effort to find out who the sword was made for and why it was made. The blade has many inscriptions on it and I found that it was possibly made by the M.C. Lily Company in Columbus, Ohio. Could this sword have been made as a first attempt for Mr. Lilly?
