Took a few hours today to investigate an old one-room school house ...

.. which may have some salvage potential. Inside, tucked in a cubbyhole all by itself, I found this neat old crock marked I.H. Plecker - Staunton, Virginia. It has a few white paint splatters on it, but otherwise, it is in beautiful condition.

Nice find!

Here's a link to a Crocker Farm auction that might interest you (if you haven't already found it yourself)
