<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 249253, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; A framing place went out of business several years ago. They had a huge stack of unframed paintings on a table. I went through about 50 when I found a couple of &quot;Long lost Ancestors&quot;. They were ovals about 2 feet by 3 feet. One was a man wearing a cape with a fur collar. Looked like a college professor from the early 1800s. The other was a very wealthy lady in a wonderful light blue watered silk gown and wearing wonderful pearls. For 10 bucks each I could not pass them up.</p><p>Spent another 40 dollars for frames. Had them for a couple of years and decided to sell them at a yard sale. I did not even have them priced yet when a dealer pulled up and snatched them asking how much I said jokingly 300 each. He paid with cash and took off before I could tell him what they were. I expected him to return the next day. Never saw him again. I always wondered if he sold them? They were factory paintings but I think originally they were 100 bucks apiece.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
