Ive had many chances over the years, to buy an old North Dakota highway sign with the embossed Indian Head, and I always passed because they were either too expensive, or they were too rough!
My brother-in-law has had a super nice one for about 5 years and he has always known that I wanted it, but wouldn't sell it to me. The time finally came when he spotted a sign in my shop that he really wanted, and the bartering was ON!
We spent the last several months haggling over values and finally agreed to do a swap! He brought it over last week while he was here for an auction and I was happily looking for a spot to put it in my shop, when it disappeared!
Before I could even ask the Warden where she put it, I happened to walk thru the garage, and there it was! SCREWED TO THE WALL! Right next to the old brass padlock she bought at a different auction. I guess I still get to enjoy it, it just won't be hanging in my shop! LOL
