<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 9743685, member: 23"]My step-son and I went a few. years ago when it was in Newport, RI. I had an antique book printed in late 1600s by a man imprisoned in the Tower for heresy and he had an 18th century Danish dragoon flintlock pistol. All the tents were set up on the lawn of one of the mansions. It started raining the night before and when we arrived it was pouring. After a couple of hours they moved it indoors. It was a disaster. Everyone was cranky, nothing went the way it should. The appraisers were all snapping at people. The only item they highlighted was a Civil War uniform that someone inherited from a great-uncle. The book appraiser didn't even open my book. He just said "not interested" and shuffled me along. The gun appraiser was the guy looking at the uniform so he barely glanced at the flintlock. We weren't the only ones experiencing this because they'd lost so much time moving indoors and they were on a tight schedule. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
