We're they cherished family heirlooms, or just up in the attic gathering dust since gramps died. I have these same daydreams when I'm out driving through "old money" towns; how many valuable firearms have I just driven by.

I keep hoping that maybe, just maybe, the next garage sale I stop at is going to have a dusty Leg O Mutton case with a C/B/A grade in it..  Don't see that happening.

Don't lose hope... They are still out there, and you, or I, or anyone reading this, just might be the next very lucky finder. I know... I've been very lucky on a few occasions - but nothing higher than a B so far.
