These items form the core of the Museum's 9-11-2001 collection. And although the items had been selected, and the larger objects transported to the Museum, the story was not yet over. The smaller items, from cancellation devices to mailbags, had been put aside to be transported by postal Inspectors to the Museum through the U.S. mail. These were boxed up and mailed by the inspectors in mid October 2001.
