"History".
Certainly the historical, museum quality pieces of this world fit your description, Pete. I would lust as well, and have... but I'm realistic about my financial situation and the realities of the price of Huggies. Still, I trundle through ebay every once in a while looking at the "real stuff" as well.
I'm particularily envious of Elric of Gran's cartouche ring that he wears. What is it, Elric... close to 3000 years old?
However... I would suggest that my 30+ years of love for the works of Tolkien, his stories and his ability to fire my imagination also has a "history". It was this history of my love for his books that won my admiration for some of the reproductions (or outright fabrications) of the items in the LotR movies. Particularily; Glamdring.
*shrugs* I means something to me... and in the end, that's all the justification I required.
*tips helm*

Garnered Wisdom --
If it has more than four legs, kill it immediately.
Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
Eight hours per day of children's TV programming can reduce a grown man to tears -- PM me for details.
