1800's local estate sale.
What a awesome treasure hunt. If I had $20,000. I would have come home with truck loads, even a Model t with wooden wheels for $5500.
Well I only spent $220.50, that was enough. You would have flipped over the 1880's map, the scroll, roll up kind, went for $1800. 
I did buy a couple of 3 cent pieces that I am thrilled with the first is an 1852, the second no readable date but it does have the fig leafs and arrows around the III, so it has to date 1854-1862? The dimes were rather nice seated liberty variety 2 1857 & 1877.
The Wm Rogers dessert knives in the original box was a treat. An old oak table, we need to put back together. Some blue plates for $5 that surprised me when I found the large plates had Currier and Ives Royal Ironstone on them. A nice box of rose plates, some from England.
Ty wanted to go and see the treasures and fell in love with an old steam engine we could not afford. He also found and old military class ring in a mens jewelery box, a nice assortment in there so I bought the whole box for "US" for $40. There is a 1893 columbian worls fair half dollar medal in there that I kept, the pocket watch, the cameo button, and the star medal.
Well enough gabbing here are the pictures!

. I quit at $90. Should have kept going for a bit, but.......The coins were still coming up. I'm happy overall. Thanks.
