I could be mistaken, but think that one of those 'Reality' shows on TV now days is Storage Wars. Folks go out and bid on/acquire those lock-up places where others have stored stuff...which they left for several months without paying the rent. A couple of decades ago a fellow approached me with something he had found in a dresser drawer in one such storage unit which he bought at auction for $75.00. Wanted to know if it was worth anything. I verified that it WAS worth something! This was the first and only CS with Stars CS belt plate I have ever seen outside of a museum. One hook was broken off the back. Beatuful specimen. Bought it from him at a VERY great markup of what he paid for it! He was happy and so was I.

that is the ultimate!

The only thing better would be to dig one yourself. There are a few of them out there yet. Go for it!

Saw one mounted on a board in a guys house! Tried for years to talk him out of it. Still no luck.

That is an absolute beauty Gary. Thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Wow that's a great find. Nick has one for sale on his site right now. His is definitely at quite a markup from $75.
