I think I hit a good one. (added pics)
Just got back from the sales today. I had an excellent day and one of the biggest scores of the day I didn't even know I had until I got home. I went to many sales today with no luck. I had to come back home for a pit stop for the wife, then I almost stayed home, but decided to put more effort in and make the day pay. I got to one sale and bought a load of stuff. I will have to make another post with pics and prices. One storage tote had artist prints in it that were in the mats with the cardboard behind them, but no frame. I picked out 3 signed and numbered ones for $3 each. One of them may be a score too, have to have help with that one. Anyway, one had a letter sized certificate with it and an envelope behind it, so I thought the envelope must have been what the certificate was in. I got home, and the envelope had two 1 dollar bills in it. I noticed some writing on them, and saw that they are both signed by the Secretary of the Treasury above the printed signature. Cool! Since the sale was only a few miles from my home, I took off to go back over there and tell them I had an item out of the storage tote over there that I didn't pay for. I paid him (he tried to refuse payment as a reward for my being honest, but I told him to take it because I knew I did well on the other stuff). I get back home and start researching, and I notice it might bring a few bucks signed like that. Now, I notice the serial numbers. They are consecutive. Bill #1 is serial # 00000089, and bill number two is #00000090. What have I found here?
Pics will be forthcoming, when I get a chance. I also picked up a nearly new Nolan italian helmet, a set of fire king jadeite tableware, a danish modern lamp with atomic pattern shade, a 1969 corvette console bezel, signed and personalized Dana Forrester print, 2 other prints, one of which is a very old oriental wood block print, a tea pitcher which may be blenko, an art deco lamp from LDB&Co, NY, and a pair of large antique brass pheasants. I also picked up a craftsman garden tractor that runs flawlessly at another sale. For all the above, I spent about $250. The corvette bezel or the helmet should cover that.
