I got this from my grandmother. She said she had "a trunk full" & a school in probably the 20's thru 40's needed money for a school's play. Said she gave them the trunk & after the play the money scattered & this was all she saved. Sorry about the crack in the glass but haven't replaced it yet.
Here again, I have to figure out a catagory that doesn't exist on this site!

this is very beautiful and stunning past history :) i wonder what hands this has past through?
Bellin, knowing my grand parents, it didn't go any further after they got their hands on it! My grandfather was a Scrooge.
Hello Blunderbuss2 , im laughing when im reading your response :) , but i have to say this is very very beautiful and i love the age and the colors and how the did this in the past:) great antque:)
Guess I'll mail it to my sister, let her replace the broken glass & then give it to her irresponsible kids!
LMAO:) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MUST BE A FULL MOON:)
It is getting close. My niece was let go from the Smithsonian for unknown reasons. She would probably use that confederate note to light a fire-place if she didn't live in New Orleans but could use it to fire-up a joint. Bitch has lost 3 things of mine including parts for an 1809 Eli Whitney flintlock! Is this somebody you would want to leave things to? Rather give these things to strangers if they are people who would appreciate them. I'm still trying to figure out how somebody can lose parts to a flintlock musket!!?
I've got an expiration date & want to get this stuff where it will be appreciated.
Hello blundrebuss2 im so sorry about that :( , you will make it through this hard time:) i cant believe shes lost these great items.
Bellin, I've already made it thru the hard-time. Just know the future time is limited. They told me I was good for 15-20 yrs on this pig aortic valve before I have to go thru that again. 2 yrs have passed & I'm certainly not going thru the "nite of the living dead" at that age! Just being realistic.
Hello blunderbuss2 , im really sorry about this , your a great person :) I hate to see great , as of you going through pain.:( I wished I was there to help you through this.
I hate to great people going through pain.
How did you get the idea that I was in pain?! I feel great! Maybe a little tired of going thru a security class that was in French this morning. Damned what a bloody bore! Glad that's over!
Get realistic! I came out of that merde fine but have an expiration date. I'm fine & not looking for sympathy or any of that crap. You must be reading between somebody else's lines. I feel great!
My advice on open-heart surgery is, Don't go! Just send your money!
