A Holy Grail find for me on the endless Hwy 301 yard sale today

[Chris C]

I have been looking for one of these for so long.... years. First one I've ever seen in the wild and it's in excellent shape to be 175 years old. The absolute best $5 I ever spent.

It's an 1850's optimistic eagle Henry Disston saw with the inchworm stamp. It's in very good condition with a minor amount of surface rust to clean.

Congrats, I love finds like this!

I love it when a plan comes together through persistence.

Dang! Good find. This was the first year that Susan and I missed it. We went to CMA in Nashville instead and in retrospect I could have saved a lot of money and maybe had something to show for it by going to the 301 sale instead?

Score!

Five Dallahs!? Was that the best dickerin' you were up to?

 

[Graywolf]

Nice one
