Went to an estate sale last weekend. Found a few pieces of vintage bar displays/advertising and among other things was this old paperweight-

As you see it depicts a Klansman, a US Flag and a schoolhouse with the quote "One Country, One School, One Flag K.K.K." It dates to the early 1900's.
An estate sale or your sock drawer? HAHAHA Just kidding.

So, does the paperweight work? ... If so, it would be a keeper in my office...(darn wind)!
Yeah, but you aren't supposed to sell KKK items on there, except media type items. Offensive material policyThere are a lot of that kinda stuff on ebay.
It isn't a one of kind piece, there are others out there. I bought it only because it is something you don't see/find everyday. I don't neccessarily "like" it but it is what it is. http://www.justanswer.com/antiques/67xey-glass-think-paperweight-5-diamete.htmlNice find. I would have bought that too. A piece of our history and I assume it is very unique.
Now if you like it, because you really like it....that is sad.
Think about this.... you should toss it/throw it away.... really...
Why, because of what it represents I guess?Think about this.... you should toss it/throw it away.... really...
Do they even exist anymore? Kind of last century aren't they?And I would sell too…with a smile! And to a klansmen of the price is right! LOL
