it is important to recognize that Mr. Williams was an avid collector of various items of personal, cultural, or historical interest, including, but not limited to: toys, including but not limited to Japanese anime figurines; watches; rings; pendant necklaces; pendants, brooches and lapel pins; carved figurines, including but not limited to Netsuke figurines; carved boxes; theater masks; rare, first edition and autographed books and related materials; graphic novels; record albums; bicycles; walking sticks; Native American articles; models; movie posters; sports-related memorabilia; Middle East tour-related memorabilia, including but [not] limited to flags and coins; antique and unique weapons, including but not limited to knives; mineral specimens and fossils; and skulls.… These collections were carefully amassed by Mr. Williams over his lifetime and were precious to him. As the Williams Children grew, so did their father’s collections and they shared in their father’s excitement as additions were made to his collections.
