<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 172466, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I had a friend who bought a huge buffet from a church that was going out of business for 50 bucks. I cursed him very soundly since the dang thing weighed a ton. Solid walnut four inches thick on the sides. Dated from the 1860s. We struggled for several hours getting this beast up four flights of stairs to his apartment. Three years later he asked me to help him move. I told him out flatly I was NOT going to deal with that buffet. It was a beauty. On moving day the movers knocked the back off the buffet. What should be there but over 70 pieces of heavy sterling silver. Five large platters, two hundred pieces of flatware, numerous bowls and two goblets. The topper was a large sterling crucifix covered with citrines. No wonder why the drawers were only 8&quot; deep and the buffet was 30&quot; deep and 85&quot; long. The stuff had not been touched in 75 years.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
