Here is hoping that all of you are well. We've been busy and excited about the warmer weather and 'hunting season' (antique/collectible hunting that is) really getting underway. Speaking of experienced hunters, make sure you look at our dealer pictures on the sidebar. The third picture of the mystery item and a note from a reader to O.A. Joe are also posted.

The first picture, or my nature shot, is once again from our home. Charlie and I were sitting on the porch one afternoon when he noticed a huge bird perched on the top of the old milk barn on the property. The next morning, it was back and I was able to get a picture. We found out it was a black vulture which are smaller but more aggressive than turkey vultures. Later, two were perched up there but of course I didn't have my camera. These birds must have been migrating because we haven't seen any since. The picture gives the illusion that I am pretty close to it but in reality, it is three stories high. Although this isn't my usual type of shot, we both found the birds to be very interesting.

Check out what Charlie has 'bagged' recently.
Charlie found this buffet recently at an auction. It needed some work which is in the process, but as you can see, it has some stunning features. It should be very pretty when finished. 
These brackets would be great paired with a shelf or as a single with a small shelf. 
Shoeshine chair anyone?
Brass Candle Holders from Virginia Metal Crafters of Wayesboro, Virginia. This plant is now closed and the company is producing
their products out of the country.
The small holders are
31/4 inches tall and the tall one is 10 inches tall.
I wanted to show you the 'pan' again and give you a perspective of its size. Note the candle holders pictured above.
How about a piggy bank?Take care,
Charlie and Chris
