Oh! I thought you meant, like... *voice trails off*

 

Americana is what Americans have instead of History.

 

Well, that's an elevation beyond what I was actually looking to see. I missed that last "a" and was ready to see stuff for American lovers...

 

Hmmm......
Those who have tried to take over twice are history.

 

YEAH! What King said. Wait, was one of those Mexico? D'oh!

 

Much I love.......
Surely none I can afford....Shirley.

 

No.

 

Good!
YEAH, WHAT KING SAID!

 

Ha!!!!

 

The silver just blew me away!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Were I to win that great big enormous lotto thing, it would all be gone in a matter of hours! Look at all that Philadelphia furniture...

Af, don't be snarky! And remember, some of us are your loving admirers, and some are even customers.

 

I just freakin' drooled ALL over the keyboard over that silver basket ice bucket with the rams head 'handles'........but then I STOP and remember JUST HOW MUCH I HATED POLISHING MOM'S SILVER EVERYTHING........and am quickly cured.......

Edit....Haha....got rid of all that shiny stuff after both parents were gone......

 

And who knew little gold rimmed glasses were worth that!!! Found a pair in an old abandoned house when I was about 16....still have 'em too!!!!

 

1783
1815

 

Great Scrimshaw too!!!!

 

Not our history......well...at least until Laura Secord was bought out by foreign interests !!
