He bought a sideboard in San Fran once. It cost him USD9,000 to buy and ship back to UK, He sold it for £125,000. He saw it in the window of a swanky London dealer a little while later with a price tag of £250,000......

@twin The one from the lunch box story?! That's rad - is there a sign giving any info about it?

@Inorganic Look up big nickel. There were lots of mines here.

Thrifted this wool western shirt. It's super fitted and a bit long, fits like an Ship John in my opinion. But the best part (other than the price) is the tag. Thank you bad ass grannie, wherever you are out there. I appreciate it very much!

He's actually a wonderful person, extremely knowledgeable about antiques. Also very entertaining.

@Giles I sort of remember his story about a Mrs. Shufflebottom who lived on the Isle of Wight. I was more intrigued by her name than the story, which was good.

@freepickin that is a keeper

@steelworker Always known as Big Nickel.

@steelworker Also look up (Sudbury Igneous Complex). That will explain why the nickel is there.
