Very interesting Ann. Its amazing the things you'll find in a thrift store sometimes. When we lived in Boston, since many of my wife's relatives lived in Maine, we would sometimes go up Rt 1 and stop by beat up antique stores, they usually had the cheapest and most unusual stuff. The shiny stores usually were overpriced. Its these trips where she bought lots of her favorite depression glass for a song.
