<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 583099, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I saw a very old Lutheran church which had been converted into a Spanish Pentecostal church. It was going to be torn down. Going through some of the many black plastic bags on the curb I found several treasures. Four solid mahogany collection plates. They had brass labels on the bottom saying who had donated them to the church in 1881, one brass candlestick donated in 1882 and six large altar cloths. I only had 20 mins to go through the bags before the trash trucks pulled up.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" />.
