Oh yes Chad. You certainly did do some more work on that piece. I wish you would not have found that piece. Or a least so soon anyway. Some people look for thirty years and never even see one let alone have a chance to get one. And here you stumbled over one.  ;D

So you have got a lot of bad days of looking ahead of you. BUT, who knows, the next treasure might be just around the corner from you.  :)

I work nights, so I spent all night cleaning on it after I last talked to u. But I understand what you're saying. my friend from work that also collects anything antique and I were actually just talking about the same thing. I was telling him all about it, and everything u said. I told him it was kind of a double edged sword. I was extremely excited  that I was lucky enough to stumble up on something that rare. And like it enough to save It and show it off and be proud of it before I even knew what it was. But chances are slim of that happening again. Just gonna put it it in its own class, and look for the other good stuff. But I'll stop rambling I'm sure you have more great pieces to value.like those I see in your picture. Very nice. But thanks one more time for helping me out with it. And telling me exactly what I have.

I don't know about others, but those wood handles might also be original.

ya got a great piece there and the perfect pattern inside to go with it. Top dollar piece in great shape.  Congrats on an most excellent find!!  This stuff is addicting, so be careful or you are going to have to buy that barn to store the rest of the items you find!!
Thanks a lot Mr. Greg. I am watching out the window for my blue book to get here, so maybe I can find out more about the pattern. But I have noticed since I found it that my kitchen is being filled with CI so the barn may be a good idea. Ha. Mr. Perry got me excited, so I went back and cleaned it up better so everything would shine more. Thanks.

Chad, every time I look at that piece I like it even more.  And, if you don't like waffles, I know some people who do ;)
