ANTIQUE SLEIGH BELLS signed WEB, george tinker-$247
Captain William Barton (Sr.) (1740?-1793?) a bell maker in Wintonbury (now Bloomfield), Connecticut as early as 1770; begat William Barton (Jr.) (1762-1849), also a bell maker but now located in East Hampton, Connecticut, from 1808 through 1826. His brothers Hubbard Barton (1797-1860), Hiram Barton (1799-1878) and Jason Barton (1808-1862) were all makers of bells along with one of Hiram’s sons, John Watrous Barton (1835-1867). I’m sure they all begat others, but the important part is that Hiram also begat William E. Barton (1826-1895), the maker of the bells on this neck strap.

ANTIQUE shoeshine BOX w/ OLD PAINT-PRIMITIVE-$20
If I wanted another job, one that might even have the potential for making money, I’d put this rascal to use. It’s plenty sturdy, well constructed by someone who knew what he was doing, and it will last a few more lifetimes even if you put it to use as an integral part of your fascinating new business venture. 
The iron latch is the type you’d see on old windows. It holds the lid down super-tight, and wouldn’t accidentally come open even it was sitting in your backseat and you had a huge car wreck. (Don’t try it. I’m just sayin’.)
It appears to be painted with that old red primer. Way back, red was the cheapest, but this box doesn’t go back that far. It was made after the turn of the century.
I was going to keep my idea a secret, but since you’ve come this far . . . and I’m too lazy to do it anyway . . . I’ll give it up.
First: Dump out those shoestrings and clean the inside real good.
Second: Rip yourself up some good clean cotton rags. You’ll need’m.
There are always benches in malls, so no worries there, but when she sits down be sure to ask permission to remove her flip-flops. Remember, this is most likely the first time you personally have touched her feet.
Be pleasant. Strike up a conversation. You’ll want to spray her feet down real good with something then wipe them dry with one of those cotton rags. I’d use turpentine or rubbing alcohol, but that’s just me.
This could be a big step for you but just relax. In a way, it’s almost like telemarketing. The more calls you make, the more you sell even though most people slam the receiver in your ear. It’s the same with toe painting at the mall. You’ll get slapped now and again, mostly because you don’t have the right color polish, I reckon. Don’t let it bother you. Man up! Go buy the color she was looking for and tap another one on the shoulder.
Oops. I almost forgot an important part of the job if you want return clients. After you finish painting but before you remove the masking tape, get down real close and blow your warm breath on each little piggy until they’re all dry. (Usually, there are ten.) As a final step, splash on something that smells good. It can be most anything as long as you can buy it by the gallon.
