ORIGINAL: THE BADGER I WAS TOLD YEARS AGO BY AN INSULATER COLLECTOR TO ALWAYS BRING THE BROKEN ONES HOME WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE VALUABLE TO A COLLECTOR EVEN BROKEN OR IN PIECES. BADGER Yes. That is true of the rare pieces. While they won't command book price, I have some cracked or chipped pieces I paid multiple hundreds for. Some collectors only want VVNM+ , but some are content to have an example of that style and/or don't have the $$$ for a mint one. My rule of thumb is - "I can always throw it out later." If I don't take it home, I might never know. (of course, now that I think about it, that might just explain why this place looks like it does..... Hmmm.....)
