Item History is a pretty weird talent to me that would serve as nothing more than a barrier to entry on magic items if it weren't for the "also reveals facts about non-magical items" aspect. For nearly all purposes, it's either just a money sink that requires you to sit in town for a while or it's an LP-sink that happens entirely in the background while you travel from point A to point B. Because of the time involved in the test Rules As Written (RAW), it takes a GM twisting it a bit to make it useful for adventuring.

It is a magical Talent, after all, not a skill. Not everyone can pick up any object and just _know_ details about it's story after a week of casual study (plus how many Threads can be attached, total Rank, _and_ it's magical effects as you learn each Rank). It's the realm of the Elementalist, Troubador, Weaponsmith, and Wizard Adepts, and there is a healthy economy in Barsaive built around it because mundane people and other Adepts just can't do that. That's why I always give hints around the Research Knowledge based on the successes scored, to give that sense of the story of the item (mundane or magical), and to make the silver (or time for a PC Adept of the above Disciplines) feel like it was well spent.
