A few nights ago we were watching Pawn Stars, and it made me think about two old toys we have in the cellar. (Yes, we have a real cellar here in So. Cal, although you have to access it from outside.) H's grandfather had given them to him, and we were keeping them safe in a box.
While watching people bring in their stuff on the show, many said that they were wanting to sell because the items were just taking up storage space. It got me thinking about these little guys - Charlie Weaver and The Monkey.
Of course, we thought it would be fun to see what they might be worth, and after a gander through eBay, it was pretty clear that the condition of these antiques rendered them sentimentally valuable. They have seen better days, and they don't have their original boxes.
I believe that the purpose of having these guys is for our own enjoyment, and we can hardly enjoy them when they are hiding in a box, so yesterday morning I pulled them out of hiding and placed them in H's newly decorated study (replacing all of L's Breyer Horses) where we can look at them all we want.
