RANDOM 341 OBJECT
BIG Old Advertising SIGN w Jungle Animals - MANLEY NUTS-$130
I attend a little country auction that’s held most every week, and it’s just down the road. A handful of us who’ve known one another for several decades usually sit in the back and swap lies and talk about the good old days of antiquing. Sometimes the chatter gets a little out of control. That’s when the auctioneer holds his microphone close to his mouth and lets out a big “SHHHHHHHHH. . .” That quiets the crowd for a moment of two, but it really get chattery when he starts selling jewelry that only about four people give a hoot about, and they’re scrap buyers.
