OH yes, I do love the old furniture....my great Auntie was and Antique Dealer and as a small child I loved to walk around her house and look at all of the wonderful old pieces....my two cousins and my dad's sister ended up getting almost all of the furniture when Gran passed on......I have one little table of hers....and the old Cast Iron Bed Frame.....my dad and uncle were born in that bed. We have a few pieces that belonged to Bills grandparents.........then I have a Boston rocker, a 1800's side table and old brass candle holders and a Seth Thomas clock (which I hope to get back in working order someday) that belonged to my next door neighbor....he was 93 and still rode his bicycle every single day....he was on his way home year before last, a Recycling truck was at the end of the street, didn't see Mr. Thompson and backed over him.....was a very sad day for our neighborhood. We have small memorial plaque and a flowering Cherry tree next to my driveway in his honor...he was a wonderful old man......these are pieces his children didn't want and cherish each and every one....I would like to see if his son can give me a little history on them when I see him.
