[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 156583, member: 468"]Somewhat related story. I was exposed to moving company's auctions when a GF's parents took us with them to one. They bought a large box, the short type to hang clothing in, not the dress/coat one, and some smaller boxes which we did as well. Arriving home they put theirs in the middle of the room and had me go at it. Upon opening it I found it to be filled with balled up clothing. :( ~ So it seemed..... ~ Pulling out a wad of clothes I noticed it was heavy... ~ All packed in clothes within this box was a silver tea service! :) ~ I don't recall what the GF's had in it but mine had a framed, hand written/drawn and colorful, proclamation from the mayor of LA pronouncing a certain day Little Anthony and the Imperial's day. :) LOVE them and I still have this. :) ~ p.s. Her Dad was a sheet metal guy who made a really cool, no pun intended...fan shroud for my '69 Nova SS and is why I got into metal work. Her Mom could work on my car's electrical system and installed my open frame 4 track player...yes...4 track! Later she replaced it with an 8 track open frame unit. They bred Doxies which were fun to have around. :) I was drafted and the GF decided she couldn't/wouldn't wait for me to get back from Navy boot camp. :p I miss her parents more. ;)[/QUOTE]
