<p>[QUOTE="trip98, post: 44914, member: 65"]Yep, been to many a estate sale in Los Angeles with Batchelder, Catalina, Malibu, and D&M tiles. Stuff is destroyed and/or stolen all the time. Even at my kids grade school built in 1949 had great custom murals in the bathrooms and at the water fountains (under ocean sea themes and nursery rhymes). While my kids were attending the school around 2005 or so, the school was slated for remolding, I made huge fuss about the tiles... no-one would listen, summer vaca arrived and the adorable hand made tiles were replaced with plastic sheets that looked like tile. No one knew where the tiles went. Made me sick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
