Saturday we spent the morning at an Antique Show in Salt Lake City, mostly house wares, some old late 1800’s clothing, not much for guns or related items which was why we went. A friend that was helping out asked if I brought anything of interest as the show was not doing well for sales (dragging).
I went to the truck and pulled out a few boxes of old strickers that I had no use for anymore (had high graded the best ones to keep). "John let's have an auction to maybe pick up the interest," he liked the idea .....
A gentleman standing at the door whom I have talked to several times at these shows asked “What the heck don’t you have Buck, every time we see you, you have something neat”. I just smiled and replied “You wouldn’t believe the amount of crap we have collected over the years Dennis”.
Here’s what the folks purchased today, not bad for a 4 hours stay/worth of work.

These are the most common shape ones you'll find today, the unusual shaped ones have really dried up with everyone collecting them today. At my age it's time to move most of the stuff the family doesn't want as the wife would have a clue who to contact to sell off what's left.
