This will look good in my WWII memorabilia collection. Thanks for posting it.

Jun 15th, 2011 at 8:37:57 AM PDT by

Yes it would. We think we have it so bad today, we REALLY have no idea, just how bad it could be. thanks for checking out my auctions!

I was in the military for 16 years and part of that was during Desert Storm. You're right though, we have no idea how bad it was back during WWII except in the stories we read. I'll be watching this auction and hope to have a chance to win it. Fanned ya, too.

If you dont mind me asking...How did you come about this?

Jun 16th, 2011 at 4:22:35 AM PDT by

I have had it several years, I kinda forgot about it, I came across it in a draw and thought it would be perfect for one of my listia collectors. I believe I acquired it at an estate sale, I can't say for sure. I to am a collector and I buy from Estates, Auctions, Sales, Antique stores, etc. If there is a sign I am usually stoppin'.....lol. Why do you ask?

Jun 16th, 2011 at 5:19:59 AM PDT by

fanned, watching and bidding. there should be a bidding war going on here

Jun 16th, 2011 at 5:19:18 AM PDT by

I know right......lol, I think it will happen in the end, I have a LOT of watchers.

Jun 16th, 2011 at 5:21:41 AM PDT by

Sorry if that question offended you or anything..I just Love hearing the back story when it come to Antiques...Cool to hear the story...I guess Im just weird and stuff like that interests me...Its like this little diary a friend of mine found tucked behind a draw in a dresser she had bought at an estate sale...

Jun 16th, 2011 at 6:48:27 AM PDT by

No offense taken, I thought maybe you knew the family that was on it or something....lol, I love the back stories as well, I the show, "If this house could talk" have you ever seen it?

Jun 16th, 2011 at 8:04:44 AM PDT by

No I have not, Ill have to check it out!

Jun 16th, 2011 at 8:20:15 AM PDT by

***Correction, it is called "If these walls could talk".....lol I think it is on HGTV, or maybe the History channel. It is about old homes and the things people find in them and the history of the old homes...it is a really cool show.

Jun 16th, 2011 at 8:23:47 AM PDT by

OK, now let's get some seriously bidding going on. This should be WAY up there! Dare someone to out bid me! lol

Jun 16th, 2011 at 6:13:42 PM PDT by

Awww, Thanks ; )

Jun 16th, 2011 at 6:29:00 PM PDT by

Tonireese0314, you are correct. It is on HGTV, and it is called "If These Walls Could Talk". I have it set to record all Seagalls or is it Segalls shows. Anyway, it is very interesting.

Jun 16th, 2011 at 6:15:20 PM PDT by

Yes it is, it's like peaking into to the past..... I think that is why I love collecting, especially personal items. I like to think about the person that may have owned it and how there life might have been. Oh and by the way, my husband reminded me, this item came from my own Mother's Estate. It wasn't anyone that we knew personally, she found it in her home when she bought it. I can't believe I didn't remember that. That time was such a blur for me. I am glad I don't have any sentimental attachment to it now that I know where it came from. It would be a little late for that.....lol. My mom was famous for her cooking and the things that I held dear and kept where many of her kitchen items and her cookbooks.

That is wonderful that you have those memories to cherish ! We just bought a house from the antebellum period (1830). I wish these walls could talk!! Before anyone asks, "no, the house has been cleaned out, completely". Of course we didn't pry up the hardwood floors or tear down the plaster walls, maybe we would find an old shoe or something if we did.lol Heard that some people put them in there for good luck.

Jun 16th, 2011 at 7:12:33 PM PDT by

Yeah we have an 1890's Victorian, we have done ton's of remodeling and have found not found much at all. Oh well.....lol

Jun 16th, 2011 at 7:16:56 PM PDT by

Well, we are down to the wire now...... who is going to win..... who is going to win....
I think I need some sleep...zzzzzzzzzzzzz
