Today's Find actually an old one.
Thanks for your e-mail. I haven't been around for a while, long story, but back again. I have an old display case that I had never thought to see if it had any antique value. I had/have used it to display a find I made on an Indian Wars battlefield. The case is imbossed with the name "Henry L, Hansen." He was a maker of taps and dies and other tools and was well know for the quality of his products.
In the search on Google, using his name there was an auction held where an identical display case like this one was one of the entrys. There was a column on the auction showing anticipated price it would go for and that was $200 - $10,000 and that is quite a spread. I bever once thought it was worth over $25. I bought it from an old mom and pop hardware store when the store closed down for an urban renewal.
