Never know what u buy sometimes..

http://nypost.com/2015/10/13/this-bi...rth-5-million/

We had a man at the flea market here buy a Bowie type knife made by Black for $5 that later had a value placed at 10K.

My best cheap buy was several photo albums packed in a junk box lot for 20 bucks. Think I've posted photos in the past, but a total of 4 from the mid 1800's to around 1920 of what appeared to be the same family, a few CW tin types and the rest silver nitrates, mostly of ships, some historical sites. Several pics I've never determined yet, officials standing in from of the White House, with horse and buggies showing.

Where did you get those ears?

I watched "Gun Fury" yesterday, with Rock Hudson and Leo Gordon, who I always thought had the biggest lugs this side of the Pecos... now I know different. He had one of the best faces in the movies, nonetheless for that.

GO WEST Young MAN! The Jersey Lily: Court and bar: Bean charged $5 for weddings, and ended all wedding ceremonies with "and may God have mercy on your souls" (traditionally the end of a death sentence).

Lilly Langtry DID

Bean named his new saloon The Jersey Lilly in honor of Lillie Langtry, who recounted in her autobiography, that she had visited the area after Bean's death. In 1897 during her travels in the United States, Langtry became an American citizen. She divorced her husband Edward Langtry the same year in Lakeport, California. He died a few months later following an accident. A letter of condolence later written by Langtry to another widow reads in part, "I too have lost a husband, but alas! it was no great loss." A death sentence revoked indeed!

In 1888, Langtry purchased a winery with an area of 4,200 acres (17 km2) in Lake County, California, which produced red wine. She sold it in 1906. Bearing the Langtry Farms name, the winery and vineyard are still in operation in Middletown, California. I just called the link and: following the September Valley Fire which destroyed Middletown...someone answered the phone! I'm off to do a little tasting!

"So you think you've got the biggest, do ya? Maybe we could have a little wager on that..."
