Wow, the pie safe went for $6,600! 

These are fun to watch and see what the market is going for!  Thanks Jacon4!

No problem! Glad to bore the forum to death with basically chunks of old wood! Safe IMO was well worth that number, if it wasn't for the recent paint, it woulda gone MUCH higher.

30k, 1 bid up from min., it was NEVER a pook piece and there isn't much else to say about it. I am not knocking Pook, it's just that they do not handle that kind of piece. There was only the single bid from the floor, Pook saw there was only 1 bidder and passed it QUICK like a bunny!

I'll give you a karma point if it makes you feel better but if you recall, i said 3 pages back it wasn't a Pook piece! I have been following that table since 2003, it needs to be marketed where it was born, NYC.

Yes I remember you saying it was out of their catagory !!
