[Ponte Alto] For Sale--or Donation to a Good Cause

You haven't heard from me lately (or maybe not at all), because I haven't
been active since, oh, 97, when I moved from Caid.

I am in the process of selling a house and moving into the condo, and I've
discovered that I have two copies of Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd
(NEVER give me a book unless you've inventoried my library) and a small
number other odds and ends of likely interest to the populace.

Now, when I was in Caid, there were occasional raffles or auctions to raise
funds for various good causes (such as the kingdom newsletter, Crown
Prints).  I would prefer to donate the lot to the barony, kingdom, or
related good cause--because, other than the book, I haven't a clue what a
good price would be.

Other items include a traditional bow, quiver, arrows (tips not applied, but
otherwise the real thing), leather gloves, and related items.  These were
billed by the seller as being suitable for some parts of our period (all
standard caveats apply), and as I've never drawn the bow, I can't tell you
what shape it's in.  (The plan to learn to shoot went by the wayside.  Some
of you doubtless know what that's like.) The rest are true odds and ends--a
cap here, a pouch there--that I'll likely not use, even when I play again.

Any suggestions?
