I had fallen asleep during the auction and upon waking up had lost out on all the lots I had bid on. Fortunately, I was able to make the owner of the bowl an offer which he accepted.
When Brooks signed the photo, he initially spelled piece (peace) incorrectly. lol

Hal,
Any chance for a closeup on the crystal bowl? I said it before, but I went all out on the Brooks flip up sunglasses and came up short in the Heritage Auction. I bid on other items as well, but didn’t win a thing... I was really surprised at the money they were getting for the Gold Glove awards.
