Hi Everyone-OLE SUSANNAH'S ESTATE SALES is having a sale this weekend! DATES: Friday, July 11 9:00 a.m. - 3:00pm (Open to Public) Saturday, July 12 9:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. Sunday, July 13 1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. (HALF- PRICE SALE) LOCATION: 3506 Deborah Dr. (Corner of Forsythe & Deborah Dr., Monroe) This is the estate sale of Nell and "Jiggs" Finn. Nell has gone to live with one of her daughters in another state and has trusted us with some of her most prized possessions (many bought in New Orleans). They were avid antique collectors and have many fine (especially Oak) pieces of furniture. Jiggs was in Marketing & Transportation for some of the big oil companies and one of his items, an old Shell Oil glass bottle, is for sale. HISTORY LESSON 101: I did not realize there were boots with spurs "on the ground" during WWI. I've always thought of cowboys wearing spurs. We need a history lesson from our veterans! We found one spur at this estate sale. Our good friend, Dr.Frank Bennett, (He used to shop with me at Ole Susannah's Antique store over thirty--well let's just say a long time ago.), looked at it and saw the US stamp and a number. We looked it up on EBay and found the identical spurs with the same "hangy down thing" on the side of the iron. Without Frank's expertise about iron-a bit of history could have slipped through our hands. I found out from Mary, one of the Finn's daughters, that the spur belonged to her great uncle and this one is the only one they've ever had in her family. We were not going to sale the spur but their family has already donated lots of items to the Chennault Aviation Museum, so they hope that a veteran or a person who collects military items will purchase the lone spur. Ask to see it- a wonderful piece of our history. A special thanks to our servicemen and servicewomen who have sacrificed so much for our country!
