Were they varnished? I bought a set similar to those at a garage sale and sold them at a flea market for 100. I think I shorted myself.

No they were not. If you got a set that was officially scored close to this one you definitely left several hundred dollars on the table.

All I ever find are dinks that are way overpriced. Come to think of it it's about the same luck I have actually hunting.


Poor people have poor ways.

I sure wish I had gone to that sale before you got there. I often pick up nice racks if I like them and look for the exceptional ones like that. Dang, what a find!! Sorry I missed it. I don't live but 15 miles from you so I might have come close to it since I go to a LOT of sales looking for just that same thing. I would make you a fair offer before you become too emotionally attached to it.

Here are a few exceptional ones I have managed to collect at various sales over the years but I sure as heck never got any good ones like that so cheap....not even close.

I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I think I could find the place again, I have been thinking about going back to see if they sold the other one, I didn't realize how big it was since it was sitting next to this one but I'll bet it was 160 or close. Kicking myself for not buying it for $15.
