Antiques Roadshow

So today BJ and I were in Louisville for the Antiques Roadshow (and no, Chad, it's not a car show). :) We waited in lines A LOT, but it was a very cool experience just the same. We were able to see a lot of other people's junk, and a lot of other people's cool stuff. :)

One of the things we brought with us was this bank that belonged to BJ's grandfather as a child. You put the penny in William Tell's riffle and it shoots the apple off the boy's head. :) Unbroken value (who broke it is still a mystery in the Murphy family) = $400 - $600. Broken value = $200. :)




We also took a knife from WW2 ($150), another bank ($50 - $75), and an inlaid table ($200 - $250). Needless to say we're not going to be on the show... except maybe in the background of a few shots. :)
