I went to a decent auction today. Missed a good local milk but picked up a few other odds and ends. The only bottle being a Labled Whiskey from Pittsburgh, having decent graphics, that's going to be posted in a bottle forum. Let me start from the beginning. There's a house in a town about 5 miles from me, next door to my wife's aunt's house. I had been asking her to get me an in there for months. She can be persuasive if she wants. I don't mind. I'd even give her a nice "Finders-Fee". Long-story-short He went into a home and there was an auction today and I was there. I was 45 minutes late getting there and nearly missed seeing my parents. Whie browsing I aided a man in loading a china closet. I noticed he had a nice old bucket bench at the truck ready to go home. Long-story -short, I bought it from him. The first three items I bought were from people who got them in a box lot with other things they wanted were a Coca- Cola Tray from the late forties or early fifties, I think, a "Treenware" meat -tenderizer, and the bench. I also bought a very interesting two-drawer work table. The top lifts up and reveals a divided area above the drawers. I also won a great old photo of an early house in a very good frame. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/zanes_antiques/housephoto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/zanes_antiques/coketray.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/zanes_antiques/bucketbench.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/zanes_antiques/SheratonStand.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/zanes_antiques/SheratonStand2.jpg
