I’d go about 20 bucks for that, what do you say?

No details about what's such a "remarkable" design for holding the boards together?
Thumbtacks? Gorilla glue? Dovetail? We're waiting...
To: WhoisAlanGreenspan?
Just be sure and save the doorknob for Aunt Clara. I’m sure she’s been waiting 5,000 years for it.
(For those of you under 50, Aunt Clara was a regular character on the 60s sitcom “Bewitched.” She was a bumbling, lovable eccentric who collected doorknobs.)

Always interesting to discover ancient artifacts. I either read this on line or saw it in my newspaper last evening. I, too, would like to know the method they used for holding it together. Recall, some old furniture uses notches, kinda like a jigsaw puzzle?

Was there a skeleton of a Hoover salesman outside of it, too?
