Antique Dolls, Spiderman & Bruce Campbell

Well, my brother came down yesterday. We went to the Antiques Roadshow in Omaha today. It was a lot of fun. I took two antique dolls. Unfortunately the appraiser looked like he was incredibly bored with the whole thing. He barely looked at the dolls. All he had to say about the little one was that it was in bad shape. Well, duh! It was my grandmother's doll! If she was still alive, she'd be 106! The big doll, he dated to be about 100 years old. But I think it's older than that. It was given to my Mom by a lady in her 70s way back in either 1936 or 1938. It may have been the lady's doll when she was a girl. He did tell me the maker. But like I said, he looked really bored with the whole thing. My brother brought down a sword and a flask that looks like a pretzel. The pretzel is maybe 80 to 100 years old and was probably made in Germany. The sword, however, was the thing that surprised us. The appraiser for that was really excited by the bullet that is still lodged in the hilt. He said that's what makes it really interesting. He said it was probably made in Germany, also. He said it is a Model 1840 "Wristbreaker." That had a value of maybe $350. The scabbard, which doesn't exactly fit the sword, he put a value of about $200. Coolness! The dolls together were about $230. And the pretzel was about $100 to $120. All in all it was fun. This is the big doll I took.

Last night we went to see Spiderman 2. Oh wow! I liked it much better than the first one!!!! The elevator scene is hilarious. I'd like to see it again. And for those of you who've seen it: did you spot Stan Lee? How about Bruce Campbell & "the Classic"? Ah... Bruce Campbell... I could have met the guy at B&N in Sioux Falls a couple years ago, but I had prior commitments that weekend. My oldest brother did get his book autographed for me!!!! It says, "Hey Anna --- Come get some!" along with his autograph. *sigh*

+_+_+_+_+

Good grief! I sure babbled here!
