Hubby is a maintenance supervisor (actually, at this property, he is the only maintenance person there) for an apartment complex. So, when people move, get evicted, etc. and leave stuff behind, he gets to pick through the left overs. Of course, he has to empty the stuff out and most of it winds up in the dumpster (what the property doesn't donate or give away to other people). But he has come home with some REALLY nice things: that clock I posted about, a few depression glass items, a couple of real wood tv armoires (sp?), and loads of vintage costume jewelry.
