<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 50138, member: 88&quot;]Thanks for deciphering the pattern name Briggita &amp; Susan!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>I would have scooped it up immediately. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> Looks like an easy fix.</i></p><p><i>greg</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>We would have made quite a scene if we had all been there to see it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I do believe most folks who frequent this board would have never left it there to be thrown out. Then it would have been a free for all jumping over tables &amp; boxes to see who would get there first.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing more satisfying is the seller who left it there in the first place is a real horse&#039;s patoot. Likes everyone to think he knows everything about all matters of antiques &amp; spends money like it is the last one anyone will ever see.&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" /></p><p>One of these days I want to go up to his shop just to gawk at the prices he has on stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Susan - That was a very interesting read. Looking at the plate I would have never guessed that it was a man until they showed a close up.&nbsp; LOL </p><p><br /></p><p>Janet - Thanks for the showing that Worthpoint listing. I would love to know how much it sold for, although since it was almost eight years ago it probly wouldn&#039;t mean much. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think I will list it as is for repair &amp; let the new owner take care of the repairs themselves. Other than a crack in the other holder &amp; this damage, it is in remarkably good shape for being 135 years old. I just wonder if by any chance the bottles for this set were somewhere at the auction.&nbsp; I don&#039;t recall seeing them anywhere but if you could see this auction you would understand how you miss things all of the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>He sells on the average of around 600 table lots, shelf lots &amp; a scattering of individual items. Items are not always kept together &amp; it is not unusual to find stuff scattered between multiple locations. So that you have to bid on multiple lots to get everything you need.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
