[QUOTE="Vern, post: 29059, member: 347"]Well, as far as authenticity, let's just say nobody has time to fake junk like this up here. I was privy to dibs on a lot items with some other folks during a terrible remodel on a property with a lot of history. A complete sanitation of the worst kind. Most of the things shown here were rescued from this collection. I was actually the last person to look through it all and have my way. I filled my vehicle absolutely.

I just gave several 100ish year old clocks away that I acquired in an estate auction lot recently just to bring joy to some I know who'd like them. I am a person of strong faith and I do believe in destiny. Speaking to the entirety of my collection, it has been gathered over my life from all kinds of places.
