<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 3156308, member: 1262&quot;]Hello Folks,</p><p>2020 is nearly in the record books. Please post your favorite purchase (or purchases) of the year and tell us something about it. If you haven&#039;t yet acquired your &quot;white whale&quot; for 2020 yet you still have a bit more time but as they say the clock is ticking. So go photograph that favorite and gather your thoughts about it to share here!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now lets enjoy some eye candy!</p><p><br /></p><p>Link to last year&#039;s thread. <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/antiquers-share-your-favorite-purchase-of-2019.44954/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/antiquers-share-your-favorite-purchase-of-2019.44954/">Here</a></p><p><br /></p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the regulars here have likely already seen my two top favorite purchases of 2020 previously but I&#039;d like to show them off again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Item #1 is a pair of scarce Rookwood Pottery Rook bookends. These are the larger size bookends and I had previously seen a few pairs of these in the past at estate auctions but this is the first time I was able to successfully win the bid. I absolutely love the dark blue glaze on them!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]295049[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]295050[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]295051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Item #2 is a 1908 William Howard Taft Campaign plate which shows all of the GOP nominees back to the founding of the party. I had also seen this piece previously about five years ago at a high end auction but was unable to afford that example. This time around I was able to win this one for considerably less. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]295052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
