    What antique have you found/discovered while scrapping?

    First, let me give credit to SmokingMan regarding this thread. I saw his Brunswick phonograph and decided to ask a new poll question to pass the time.
    What is the very best antique that you have discovered while scrapping? I know many of you have found several, but I think that all of the forum members might like to read about your discoveries and even the story behind them. Did you find and keep you favorite? Did you sell it for huge bucks? Did you take photos of your find?
    I’m going to be honest here and tell you that I have not recovered anything super valuable, but my favorite is a simple pot metal bank. It is a replica of a 1908 Buick automobile that was part of a 1970’s giveaway by The Merchants Capital Bank in Cedar Falls, Iowa. It’s value is only 20 to 25 dollars, but I love it. I found it in a collapse shed that a local realtor asked if I could remove in exchange for whatever was underneath and all the household appliances. I’ll try to post a photo, but I usually have no luck with those.
