<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 77290, member: 78"]Hi Bev,</p><p> I had a real jolt many years ago. I was snooping/shopping in an attic in Paterson NJ. The house was old and gorgeous but falling down and getting ready to be torn down. I found and bought 3 really old oval shaped painting without frames, they were of old English lords and they were rolled up and quite dusty. I took the roll down and the lady selling the stuff said 5 dollars. I paid it without a hassle I bet if I said two dollars she would have said okay. I could not wait to get home, chuckling to myself all the way. When I got home I unrolled them and they were "Factory" paintings. I was in a fit but for 5 bucks I soon stopped. I went to AC Moore and found three oval frames that would work in holding them. I broke a few bits off here and there and then rubbed some gold colored wax here and there. I sold them to some "pickers" for 100 dollars each.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
