Anyway, this is what I brought in...
When my parents bought a house in Gulf Stream, FL... there was a TON of stuff left in it. Furniture, glassware, trinkets and cool stuff from around the world. In the midst of all this "stuff" was a cool little leather bucket-type object. We used it in the den, next to the desk, as a place to throw out papers etc.
Anyway... many homes and many residences later, my mother called me...
"Remember that small, leather bucket-type thing, with the emblem on the front of it? The one we used as a waste paper basket next to the desk?"
"Yes."
"You might not want to use it for garbage anymore."
"Why?"
"I just saw something similar on Antique Road Show, it was worth $20,000!"
"HOLY CRAP, OK!"
So I brought it in, and had Tim Luke look at it. It's no $20,000... but $400 bucks aint bad either! That's a whole car payment! Wahoo!
