One was where the original owner repaired watches &amp; clocks, first at his jewelry store then in his home. They were selling the complete contents of the room which included a c.1900 floor safe.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> I really didn&#039;t know what I was getting myself into, but I still made a very hefty profit. I am also not done selling everything &amp; someday I may finally unearth all of it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Peggy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
