[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 95882, member: 1262"]I'm sure that there are some great stories out there. One of my uncles was driving past a retirement/nursing home one day and saw a Roseville Donatello vase on the ground beside a dumpster on the way from work. For the next couple of weeks it sat there and he finally got up his courage to ask if he could have it. A worker at the retirement home said sure and that it had it had been on the bedside table of one of their elderly residents for years up until she died and the family told the nursing home workers to throw away all of their relatives items since they didn't want any of that old smelly stuff. Personally, In my parent's subdivision I saw one of their neighbors put a nice looking Robinson Ransbottom crock out at the curb. I asked if I could have it and they said yes. I know its fairly modern and not worth too much but its in perfect like new condition and I like it. Lets hear your stories and observations! Regards, Joe2007[/QUOTE]
