I think I can be officially considered nuts.

Friday night I went to a church sale and was about 4th in a line that stretched around the block. I immediately headed for the area where they put better antiquey stuff and . . . inexplicably . . . bought 2 zithers for $15 each. Keep in mind, I have never seen another zither in my life and know zero about zithers. One looks really old and has a label that seems to be late 19th century and the other is probably mid-20th century based upon the case it is in. I'm sure the second one is real, but need to do some research to make sure the first one isn't a knock off of some kind (like the fake Stradivarius violins you see). Who would want to do a zither knock off??? LOL. I also picked up a really pretty covered powdered jar with a tulip design made for Tiffanys (ceramic, not silver) and a weird, little trophy bowl that has the inscription "4th Prize, White Hustler's, Q.B.R.W., 1956." It's made by something called the 5th Avenue Silver Co. and is silver on copper. Anyone have a clue what the "White Hustler's" might be?

From what I see in response to Mike Wolfe's facebook page, you're in good company with millions? of other people whose idea of recreation is the hunt.
