Most of them inherited these pieces from their parents and grandparents and then just think that they are old junk and treat them like crap. I've got a friend who has a gorgeous McCobb Planner Group dresser that he ruined by leaving empty beer cans on top of it. Such a shame.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-64988982180806504462012-02-05T22:49:00.511-06:002012-02-05T22:49:00.511-06:00College kids who don't know what they have... ...College kids who don't know what they have... ::sigh:: gotta love 'em!
