@XOIIO LOL! You might be surprised that it still on; I’m not. As long as people continue to get family heirlooms, not to mention the many people who collect stuff because it catches their attention, that show will probably continue.
@john65pennington The wooden doll sounds like a great item to have checked out. It will also be a wonderful treasure to pass on to one of your grandchildren.
@mazingerz88 I think I made this offer before. I’d be happy to come over and tackle the basement for you. It sounds like it could be a treasure trove.
@filmfann I bet there are a few Disney fanatic collectors out there that would drool to get their hands on your map. Have you ever looked around on eBay?
@marinelife The powder horns sound wickedly cool! Definitely an interesting item to take in.
@YARNLADY The link didn’t work for me, but thanks for trying. Is the table something you inherited, or was it a find along the way?
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I knew I could count on you to come up with a few items. Bonus points for the photos.
@Sunny2 That sounds like one impressive piece of furniture, including its origin. There are a handful of people that haul in large pieces to these shows.
@linguaphile Thanks for volunteering to come along! Bring your daughter and Grandpa as well. I’ll see if Mom will let me borrow her beer stein collection. There are five that came from Dad’s side of the family. I don’t know if they were part of the family brewery or handed down from some family member that came over from Germany. Or…they might have been a trade for beer. They had one poor guy board on the site, and he bartered his paintings to cover his beer tab. The painter later became semi famous, and the two paintings left in the family are worth $60–75K.
@ucme If Grandma Baker is a blood relative of yours, she’d be worth checking out just for the entertainment factor.
