hahaha, robo! Nice find! I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not picking up one of the most outrageous mixers I ever saw at a flea market a few months back.

Yup. A sharks egg sac. Maybe a swell shark. They grow about 4 feet long. I think I'll wear it as a necklace like Missy Giove wore a piranha.

I guess oceanography class in high school down in Florida was good for something after all.

post this under the "one that got away" file:
last year while on vacation in acapulco, we toured an old run down resort & i stumbled upon this delicious heap of "junk" in a stairwell. i asked the guide about it & he said "that's like garbage, you can have it if you want". <<HOLY BERTOIA, BATMAN!! DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH!>>
there were a few other pieces scattered around the property as well...unreal.
needless to say it wouldnt fit in my luggage & my time was limited so i left it behind, in all of its' dilapidated midcentury glory....it was muy painful! if there had been a bird chair in the lot i would've found a way to get it home fo sho!

Its been a long while since I posted here, but I did get another Vday gift from my better half... I watched these on ebay for 5 days...And just like usual, someone decided the last day to bid...I did the attempt snipe move, as did my girl(without my knowledge). Haha, needless to say she won them under $16, and they are now going to go on my classic breweriana shelf. They are a set of 6 Budweiser beer shot tumblers with the old school bowtie logo and gold trimmed lip in the original box. They called them crested barrel tumblers, but I'll just call them cool as hell! They appear to never have been used. The font on the box is really cool looking too!
Bamboo "Budweiser" Ben would probably get a kick outta these lil suckers!

Found this photo album on Saturday with twenty signed astronaut 8 x 10 photos in it. All original NASA photos and a close inspection and a bit of research looks like all are original signatures. Not bad for twenty bucks. The woman at the cash register couldn't believe it was sitting in her shop and she didn't notice it before.

WHOA!  What a great score Trav! I'll bet that's worth a wee bit more than 20 bucks!
