<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bdigger, post: 2810552, member: 157&quot;]Back in the day before cel phones....I knew an auctioneer and his wife and she was big into Candlewick. So when I&#039;d be at the Flea markets, I would always buy inexpensive pieces of Candlewick, and offer them to her. (she was building 3 sets for her daughters). One day, at the FM i saw a regular seller I knew that had some candlewick pieces I had never seen&nbsp; before......he had 4 different things I had not ever seen. He wanted between $40 and$60 per piece&nbsp; would sell them all to me for $150.I remember 1 was a lidded punch bowl and cups...one was a lidded Box with a shelf coming off the top. I passed, because I just didn&#039;t have the money (on me), and I would come back the next week and buy them. When I got home, I called the auctioneers wife and described the pieces. Long story short...all the pieces were EXTREMELY rare, and would have sold at that time for several THOUSAND dollars. </p><p>Of course the next week they were gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
