This is funny because it reminds me of my Baseball "Brick" story. I was able to visit and walk through Harry Stoveys house in New Bedford Massachusetts a few years ago. The owner was a very nice Hispanic couple and let me go all over including in the attic and down in the basebment and even fed me a tamale. The house is falling into disrepair and the chimney was breaking apart so I offered $20 for a box full of bricks and an old porch post that was down in the basement and a few other things. I have had about 3-4 bricks in my garage thinking that a few close friends in SABR and on this forum would want one and I had NO takers. Everyone I offered them to for free told me that they were not interested. For a while I thought I was weirder than everyone else. It is a good thing I still think they are cool. It was really fun to able to walk through his house but I wish I could have done it in the 1920's and asked for a few hundred autographs!
