OMG that lady's pins were great. Such a neat collection she had.
Quote:
Claiborne from Milwaukee brought in a handsome mahogany desk and bookcase that he said his family has owned for many years. He said the piece originated with his wife's ancestor, Richard D. Hubbard, who was governor of Connecticut in the late 1870s.
If the top and the base were a marriage of separate pieces, such an exquisite pairing of furniture might fetch $20,000. But if its authenticity as an original set were verified, the Kenos said Claiborne's masterpiece could be worth as much as $250,000.
