Hi, I want to thank you for putting together your website / blog – the info in it saved a pair of 1940’s Chippewas from the garbage or from going to the goodwill. My neighbor bought a house and I was helping him sell the appliances on craigslist as he wanted throw everything in a dumpster. Among the junk in the garage was a half bottle of Windex, a plunger, some paint cans and an old pair of boots. He was going to toss them but he thought it would be funny to tell me “sell these!!” instead I took them and put them in my goodwill pile. A couple of days later I dug them out thinking I should at least see if there were any on ebay. Looking at ebay and then around the web I found your site and I realized I should have them shined up and auctioned off. The boots sold last night for $3,383...
Thank you again on behalf of my neighbor ...
