An Odd Collection

A really old ivory cue ball that my dad has had since he was a little kid.

A horseshoe shaped magnet that I found hanging on a nail in a machine shed at the Gardner farm.  

A real beetle boot jack (not one of those cheap half-cast ones you mostly find these days) that was also used as a door wedge in the entrance way of my great uncle's house at Copperhead Ranch.  As a little boy, I greatly admired this boot jack.  When my aunt Beth passed away, there was an estate sale.  I couldn't go, but I asked my wife to go and I asked her to please buy this.  It only cost me $1000.00 plus gas.  

Underneath it all is a beautiful brass and cedar chest that was hidden away in my grandparent's basement with all the rest of the "old" furniture.  

A second round pick.
