Looks like a pretty cool estate sale up in Buckhead this weekend ... IF you're looking for antiques. It's on the wrong end of town for ya', but there's some nice stuff there. Looks a bit out of my league and probably pricey, but to each his own. (I like digging through dusty old junk hoping to stumble upon a "treasure")

Here's the sale: http://www.estatesales.net/estate-sales/GA/Atlanta/30324/547617

Looks like they have a pretty cool old shotgun with a case. No clue what it is, but it's prolly pretty decent considering the other stuff they have.

Heck, I sold those things ages ago. They seemed to be authentic according to the research I could do online, but I had no way of knowing for sure. I listed the fact I had no way to authenticate them in my listing and was basically saying, "bid for what you think they might be, not for what you hope they might be". Heck, I don't even remember what they sold for (I sold them separately) ... but it seems they went for around $85-$90 apiece. If I remember correctly, I paid $12 for the pair. :D

Hey Bucky, maybe this one is Annie Oakley's back up gun. ;)
