My family's divided on selling our great-grandfather's pocket watch

Some want to sell it and split the cash, others think we should pass it to the kids. I feel like selling it erases a piece of our story. How do you guys handle these tough choices?

My uncle sold his war medals and we all still feel sick about it.

What would your great-grandfather have wanted for that watch? I used to think cash was more useful, but inheriting my aunt's wedding ring made me feel a true link to her. Now I see that passing it down gives your kids a piece of family history money can't replace.

Yeah, this happens so much. People forget how important old family stuff is until they have it in their hands.
