Ouch. Looks like somebody finished painting the barn white, then slapped a coat on this Sparton mirror lid set.

Maybe the dog chewed some of the front cabinet edges, too . . . or that could just be jaggies in the bad photos.

It's located about a 1.5 hour drive from here. Lucky for me, I have NO room for more big stuff!

It's over $200! Maybe JZ Knight is channeling its new owner from down the highway! The grille cloth and what little grille there is are surely great examples of long-dead granny-friendly styling!

Phil, do you remember when Aurora Auto wrecking bought the property behind the main office for their expansion? They said there was one of those inside the house they tore down! I asked about it some time later, but noone knew where it went.
