OKLAHOMA CITY – When heirlooms are passed down through generations, they can become quite a mystery.

A beautiful lithographic print that made its way through a family is very collectible.

In fact, it was made for Pabst Brewing Co. and was given to people who purchased barrels of beer. The print is worth anywhere from $200 to $250.

A pair of colorful pottery vases that were also a family heirloom turned out to be a collectible item. The Gouda vases were created between 1915 and 1930 in the Netherlands.

Now, they are worth about $250 to $300 for the pair.

An unusual medal that is hard to come by was actually given to freedom fighters who liberated China from Japanese influence during WWII.

The medal could be sold for as much as $650 to military collectors.
