<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 769352, member: 59"]Went to an estate sale first thing this morning at which I really did not expect to find anything since so much of the photo space in the ad was devoted to tools of all sorts.

Anyhow, I was very surprised to see what looked like a jadite-colored 6 inch square bowl holding a pile of lapel pins and other small stuff in amongst a table of camera equipment. And the bowl was separately priced - 8 bucks. No "Fire King" or any other maker/tradename on the bottom. None of the guys circling the table were the least bit interested in the bowl. So I went around the rest of the house wondering if there was more like the bowl? - nope. And when I got back to the camera table, the bowl was still there, so what the heck, I can justify the $8 to myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had lots of other things to do, but when I finally got home and looked up "Jadite Square Bowl" on eBay, I was very surprised to find a match - and ridiculously expensive!
