LOVE the cat and its expression... Whatcha got there, daddy? Z'at fer me?

Beautiful piece.

nice finds dave! i do the same thing if the girlfriends restless and i cant detect its yard sales. a couple of weeks ago i went to a free estate sale at this very old colonial house and got a maple roll top desk in good condition. willy

Are those your ankles Dave? lol I think you have some great finds there. You seem to do well with or without a detector in your hands! Thanks for sharing.
