About ten auctioneers were on hand for the event, and there were two rings selling simutaneously--one inside and one outside.

It still works, because it redistributed $3600 on Sunday when it sold.

Glass pop bottle like when I was a kid. Pop was ten cents, and if you took the bottle out of the store deposit was another two cents.
If you could find five pop bottles, you could trade them in at the store for a bottle of pop.
You had to drink it at the store though, or you needed to pay another two cents.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
It was a fun sale to attend, but I am guessing there was a certain amount of "buyer's remorse" come Monday morning. :wink: :-)

Looks like a lot of people got their yards and shops cleaned out.

How much junk did the Soapweeds haul home?

Just enough to make me a bit more cautious at the next sale. :wink:

Got one real nice Gary Potter painting, vintage 1982, for a hundred dollars, and spent another hundred and fifty on stuff of various nature. Did get a "portfolio" of thirty-one full color art prints, about 10" x 13", put out by Outdoor Life. It is a Gallery of North American Game prints by Francis Lee Jaques. The pictures are in nice condition.

Some of the other goodies include a sack of tokens and buttons with 1975 Mardi Gras memorabilia, a box of toy trucks with some pretty old cast iron stuff :roll: , an old purple heart box with some assorted medals in it, an antique "seeder sower" in good usable condition (made in Urbana, Indiana, patented 1925), and other assorted trinkets.

One of the neatest items is a New Testament that was given to Reuben Ernest Red Feather on May 9, 1944. He was stationed at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, at the time, and evidently Alfred P. Klausler was the Chaplain who gave him the Bible. The little testament shows that he carried it with him, and there are photographs of his family members inserted between the pages. It would be very interesting to know "the rest of the story."
