Focus on information such as: first appearance, purchase history, first use by a given owner, significant or noteworthy uses, important narrative moments, first use of a specific property, uncovering further information about the item, instances where it is significantly altered, transfers of ownership, and destruction.

Paragraph form is preferred. However, for a series of brief appearances, you may want to consider a bulleted list in the form of:
