My friend's grandfather ran a marine business, so had many engines and accessories in stock. After he died they left his shop untouched for a couple decades.

My friend's grandfather ran a marine business, so had many engines and accessories in stock. After he died they left his shop untouched for a couple decades. At that point, they had grown a sentimental attachment to those things even though it was just "inventory"; not the grandfather's prized possensions or anything. So yeah, they got lots of old engines lying around on display now. And a box of compasses and other crap.
