Hi Hillbilly, This is the cleanest one of these I've ever seen. Congratulations! Just when you think everything is $300.00+ you come across something like this. I have a friend who used to deal in Japanese antiques and would say everything on the market is just cycling in and out of collections - not new finds. I start to think that's true for this stuff too - but you're right, there is still some buried treasure left. The more time passes though, the more the estates of people who held on to these things from personal experience, are liquidated. I'm not old old, but I'm not young either and I think about that a lot. Who will care about my collections after I'm gone? (which may not be far off). Do younger people care about this stuff? Does anyone young collect anything anymore? I keep telling my wife, if I don't make it home some night, DON'T just order a dumpster - there's gold in these cabinets. I love that your Dad tracked his drinks on his menu - what a great thing. Thanks for adding to this thread.
