Mike, I have comments on your comments on several of these items - not 
totally tongue in cheek....

These are very useful and if in good shape there is still a demand here in 
California where we still have a lot of them in use. But like you say on 
some items the shipping would kill us.

I wondered what he was doing with Charles Daley's head!

Now this question I can answer! Since you retired... drive it home! How far 
can it be from Cecil County MD to Allamuchy? Only about 150 miles, so 
traveling at 4-5 mph, it would only be 30 hours. This would be a terrific 
trek worthy of a full account!
