If it’s real it’s the most interesting thing I’ve ever found at a thrift store

<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1441801, member: 10944"]That’s a definite possibility. It looked like the same material to me as well. When I’m back in town I’ll be checking. It didn’t look or feel filled with dirt to me but I don’t think I looked very carefully so I’m not ruling it out. I suppose the top could have been kind of sealed with mud while dirt that could have been inside was “emptied” out. I’ll update here when I get it in my hands again. While I wouldn’t be selling it I would say it’s value conservatively would be about 25x-30x what I paid for it. They sell with relative frequency for $30-$50 and some with fancier designs for $60-$70. Overall just a very fun and interesting thing to find in a thrift store. I expect the unexpected but I would expect this would have gone straight in the trash can when they were sorting. I was shocked to see it on the rack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
