Donations to Watchtower

A few years ago Watchtower published in the Watchtower Magazine a BOLO for the 1922 Cedar Point Ohio Film Footage. To this day none has been found. Not long after Watchtower issued a form for ones to donate old Watchtower artifacts to Watchtower, and many have, just sent in whatever they had.
However something strange happened when Watchtower put out the notice for old Watchtower Artifacts and donating them. Some, a small number, realized there was money to be made from these items if listed on eBay. And to tell the facts some very old items that are very much needed for museum projects are showing up on eBay and some for over $1,000.
Many of the items are indeed owned by the person who listed them, and it is there's to do with as they desire. However consider this. The portable phonograph that was invented and built by Watchtower, are those really owned by the person listing them?
Consider, Watchtower assigned those Watchtower branded portable phonographs out to Special Pioneers and some Pioneers from 1933 forward. Each phonograph had a serial number that was recorded and the Special Pioneer or Pioneer "borrowed" the phonograph, Watchtower never "gave" them away. At the conclusion of their assignment the phonograph was to be returned to Watchtower. 
Now however many are showing up on eBay for sale some for over $1,000. The ones listing them are not going to be told they rightly belong to Watchtower, so they will stay listed. However if like me you are one that likes to hunt for the old artifacts and then donate them straight up to Watchtower without any request, here are some images of Watchtower built portable phonographs. These images are NOT copyright protected since the item is in reality owned by Watchtower. 
But if you are a hunter, get a good look at these. This is what you are looking for at old shops, junk stores etc. And if you do find one, really consider just donating it to Watchtower.

Conditions of donating an old artifact to Watchtower.
1) You will not be paid.
2) Your name will not be put on the item for all to know you donated it.
3) Your name will not be published in a Watchtower or online for all to know you donated it.
4) You will get a thank you letter, and that is all.

​But there is something else you will get. It is believed that our Spiritual Heritage (the vast collection of Watchtower history artifacts) will survive into the New World. Why survive, this is a record of the history of Jehovah's people, the Bible survived. So if you were to donate an item, you can forever have the knowledge that something being used to teach resurrected ones was once upon a time donated by you. That it a priceless payment.

So look at the images below and if you find one, ask your Elders for a donation form and ship it to Watchtower.
