Hello zachsau72,
My personal opinion on this piece is that it was made for those who travel (tourist) and is of little collector value. This is just my personal opinion and others might disagree with my evaluation. Sorry.

Best,
Robert

Oh Zachsau, this is hardly a "heated" debate for around here...

Actually i think we all mostly agree. These kind of pieces are basically made for the tourist market. This one might be a bit unusually long, but that doesn't make it particularly collectable. It will be a nice wall hanger though. Don't feel bad about this. As an inherited item this will forever be connected to you grandparents and hopefully good memories. That's worth more than any collectable antique is some ways.
