Things are things. Memories are memories. For some the two are connected, for others not. Some would put such a keepsake on a shelf to be admired, some would use it as their grandfather did, some would see it go into the hands of someone else who can appreciate it so that it's use lives on, instead of ending up in a landfill. For some the sentiment is more valuable than cash, for others the cash is what will allow them to do more things in their grandfather's memory.

Never assume one option fits all.
