This article was in a local newspaper yesterday

“’It’s worth millions. It’s rare, there’s not another one like it, it has great historical value. Steuben Glass itself is very valuable. There are a lot of reasons why it’s worth a lot of money,’ Mitchell added.”

It’s worth what the market will pay for it.

Sounds like it’s worth about $25,000.00.

Cool...When I wa a student at Gettysburg College, I had a work-study job in the Special Collections department of the College Library. We had a bronze study Borglum did for the Mt. Rushmore Lincoln, and later gifted to the college...

Something interesting.

It is cool, huh? We never know what treasures we might have sitting around the house!

[potlatch]

I hope they get more than that, but who knows?

We are lucky to have this monument. In today's economy, who knows what would have happened.

[potlatch]

Lol, at least you didn’t put Obama on it

——and please don’t!!

You're a animation maven. I wouldn't dare

[potlatch]

[You’re a animation maven. I wouldn’t dare]

Well what you posted is pretty darned cute! Thanks, because this isn’t going to be a very popular thread, lol.

[One_Upmanship]

I bow to your talent.

[potlatch]

Looks like you do pretty well yourself!!

Thanks SunkenCiv, I didn't know what all categories to put it in as I don't post often.

On the rare occasion that I see something from the Victoria Advocate, my memory takes me back about 25 years when I flew into that teeny airport to get over to Port Lavaca for some shrimp business.

When I'd wrapped up my stuff with Lavaca, I was driving back to the airport and passed right by a dozen or so KKK demonstrators - in full Robert Byrd gear.

If you're down that way, look up my old buddy Sam Clegg for me.....I've lost touch - he got out of the fish biz and opened a B and B in the area.

[SunkenCiv]

Pretty cool. I just added it and didn’t ping because it’s a modern one, but, as I said, pretty cool!

[potlatch]

Ern, guess I've posted Advocate articles before and you wrote this to me before too. I was here back then but have no recollection of something like that.

This has always been a really conservative town but there are wackos everywhere, lol.

If it's the same Sam Clegg that you know, he has been in the “MotorHome” business for many years now. Pretty sure it's the same man but I don't personally know him.

[potlatch]

[but, as I said, pretty cool]

Good! That made it worth posting. I hope they get a decent amount if they can sell it in this economy!
