Treasure at a yard sale

[JoeBob]

Thanks for the advice guys!

It's chillin on a shelf right now.
I plan on polishing it up, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
It's just for show, I won't be using it as a humi.

You know what they say "one mans trash is another mans treasure" amazing what you can find out some of the yard sales.

Just my 2 pesos ...Just remember that polishing it to a high shine can actually take away for the value of something in the eyes of the collector .If something looks new they dont always like it .They like there items too look like antiques.

If you have no intention of selling this then polish away brother !!

My dad once had a antique pie safe that he found in an old barn it was still in the crate and brand new . He took it to the Canton show in texas and no one would touch it . So when he took it home he beat the living crap out of it with a hammer and left it out in the weather . The next time out he sold it for 3 times what he was asking for it in new condition . Moral of the story is people are stupid !!

A Pie Safe?  To keep away Theving Pie Bandits?  hock:
Thats Hilarious no one wanted it new. 

Nice score on the Humi!  Thats pretty cool.  I love old stuff.
