<p>[QUOTE=&quot;popsycat, post: 180740, member: 1904&quot;]Last week I was walking past a stall for the second time, when I noticed an old copper pan half hidden at the back. I looked at it and asked the price&nbsp;&nbsp; 4 euros. It is a small antique pan with the base dovetailed on as you would expect on an old pan. What was interesting was the name on the side, along with makers stamps. Cte de Lestrade. We looked up the count de lestrade and found an interesting story. In WWII, the count and his son joined the resistance. The nazis found out and burnt their chateau.&nbsp; The French government later restored it as it was classed as a national monument. The pan is not worth much, but we liked the history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
