This is absolutely brilliant. There are good people on the world.
Usually, artifacts and historical items get stolen/bought and are squirreled away for some elitist's greed and ego.
Bravo to whoever returned these.
PS
After years of putting it off, I finally bought the Origin of Species to be read this year. Darwin (and Wallace) were heroes.

Yes.
There must be an interesting background to this.

Might be the mother of a kid who has finally moved out and she cleaned up his room.

Many people speculated that a family member of someone found it and realized the importance.
