The fruit was inscribed with the message: "Given By Mr P Lu Franchini Nov 4 1739 to Miss E Baxter." Apparently the relationship soured, but it did stand the test of time.

I'd be more than happy to auction off my son's dead Ford Escape LEMON for $500. You'd get all sorts of new parts and a blown tranny. I'd even have my son sign it for the buyer.

Only reason I can think it would be worth it (possibly) is if it is a variety that does not exist any more and they are hoping the seeds are still viable. Something like the Judean date palm.
