Default Gack!!

I came across this picture on the web taken by someone who was exploring an abandoned tannery in Milwaukee WI.

The building is (or was) being demolished. I hope these babies survived!!

They don't look hugely valuable but would still be a shame if they were destroyed.

Old saw mills etc used to be full of things like that . Even in Canada.
A friend used to have acsess to some on the Quebec side 10 - 15 years ago .
most were in the $15 - 30 book so $20 in real life.
always depends on the manufacturer.
Still just a row of them or several rows would look great. P

I'm a little rusty on the American stuff but they looked like $20 pieces to me ( realistically ) unless there was some rare embossings .
