HEY! Check this out. I was in a local flea market/antique store just north of Atlanta this past Saturday and found this. I could not hardly believe it. My wife and I had walked 90 percent of the place and were getting really bummed out because the quality of vendors had dropped since our last visit and there was nothing to see but a lot of JUNK (reproduction Victorian furniture, beannie babies, country crafts, Yuck!) Anyway, I had made it halfway up the last isle and was just about to turn around when I saw it sitting next to a dirty stuffed dog. The booth was full of the crap I mentioned above and this. I froze in my tracks and went bug-eyed. I grabbed it down and put the death grip on it and nearly ran to the front of the store trying all the while to keep my composure. When I got to the register I found that the booth owner had listed everything 50 percent off. What!!?? Guys, I paid $10.84 for it. There I was 2,000-plus miles from Beverly Hills and 1,000 miles from Chicago. Sometimes it pays to get out of bed early on a Saturday.




PERFECT CONDITION
