| Makes ya wonder....What we might have had our hands on and passed over. I've bought a couple of things that I know are worth more than I paid. Like a small tin sand bucket with the old version of Mickey Mouse. There is a Cow on it too...I don't remember what who the cow was. I paid 10¢ for it. And a pin with a stone looking center. The stone thing is carved to look like a large beetle. It has a pink color metal scrolled around the outside with pink rhinestones. And a very old looking pin type clasp on the back. I don't remember what I paid, but I'm sure it wasn't a dollar....I'm cheap. patti |
