I was Bidding wildly with a bunch of people. i didn't know what they were really after that or a Hull Buddha, plus a mix of odds and ends. But, I was told that back in the day you had everything repaired. not like today where everything is disposable. a repairman would come around the neighborhood and do fine china repairs. A dealer told me it's worth over 150 dollars stapled. ~stardust~ _____________________________ YouTube - Mark Erelli - The Only Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNIUSEPHfac&feature=related YouTube - Mark Erelli "Volunteer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=921Ipmehrb0&feature=related ~Stardust~ : ) (in reply to Digswithstick) Post #: 5

Kind of a demonstration of the old days, and ways. he was 85 if he was a day and had hands made of steel. a novice might think it detracts from the value greatly but it's quite acceptable from what i hear. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smJmVFCx_y8&feature=related (in reply to Stardust) Post #: 6

I'll try to take a pic with this borrowed camera. Discover card has an offer  if you open a new Discover more card you can get a free Canon powershot for free. you probably have to sign up for somthing in the fine print that I'm not seeing. But I'll see what I can do. ~Stardust~ _____________________________ YouTube - Mark Erelli - The Only Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNIUSEPHfac&feature=related YouTube - Mark Erelli "Volunteer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=921Ipmehrb0&feature=related ~Stardust~ : ) (in reply to Digswithstick) Post #: 8
