It was a frustrating show as the sellers set up so slow..I got there about 7:30AM and had to leave at 10:00AM...and lots of tables still weren't set up when I left. I didn't find any gotta have it sports pieces...and even the non-sport was tough (as is pretty much everywhere). However, I did see two pieces that stood out that you'll see in the batch. The one was a dynamite c1900 tin advertising tray for Spokane Brewing and Malting Co., featuring a co-ed beauty holding a pennant (unmarked), and titled College Widow. Price was jacked up around $3,600.00 as I recall..but quality. The other piece was a c1920 U.S. Skates (ice skates) tin sign, 17 3/4&quot; w x 11 1/2&quot; t, $375...but passed..nice but didn't hit the bell<br><img src="http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/CarltonHendricks/RingBellMallet.jpg" alt="[linked image]">
