More Treasures

Here are a few more primitive treasures for your viewing:
An antique dealer tried to purchase this children's high chair today but I refused to sell it to them.
I just call him "Alfred". Arms and legs were cut off during the war.
One of many collections of antiques.
The one and only "Sterling" Wheelbarrow. It is all wooden except the wheel with all the original paint. I can't sell it with a name like that!
Here is an early 1800s baby doll that is also a keeper. Just wanted to show this sweet face to you.

This clock was my very first antique purchase for $10 back about 40 years ago.
Here is a very rare Raynard lamp with beautiful floral details and is signed. I had it appraised by one of Kentucky's finest antique appraisers about five years ago for $3, 500. It is one of the prettiest lamps I have ever seen. It looks like real life blooming lilacs when lit up.

Miss Wilma,
JUST went down the line and looked at all the pictures. So So many things. Is Jess still there to help you? Is someone there to help you? Sure would like a close up look at everything. Love your old clock you bought all those years ago. That wheel barrow you sure do have to keep. It must be hard to decide what to keep and what to sell.

Miss Wilma, I love that lamp! It's a beauty. You have such lovely things there. I hope to get down and look at your stuff someday and more importantly to meet you! Hope you have a great day, it's snowy here today in Central Kentucky. Take care!

I've had such fun browsing through your treasures. Wish I could get a day off here so I could browse in person. That would be just delightful!

Best wishes,
