We sold an old WWII "Rescue Mirror" on eBay this evening which will make Bryan C. Cherry happy back in Churchville, Maryland. I got it in the bottom of a box at an Auction some years ago and it has hung on the peg board above my bench in our "lower level" work room ever since. It inspired me to list some more items from our inventory of "stuff". When one goes to an Auction like last Saturday, you realize how little much of the stuff sells for. So, we decided that whatever we could get on eBay was probably more than it would bring at an Auction. This fan is one of the items I put on this evening. It can be viewed by going to eBay and searching "Seward, NE". It is an interesting piece of Seward Memorabilia from the Chain and Wood Mortuary. Unfortunately, it was somewhat disfigured by Elaine and some of her HS classmates by autographing it, including the Principal, Mr. Ely Feistner. Others include: "Midge", Jean Dierberger, "Gerke", David Costa, "Walt", Vern, and Jean Fosler. I don't know if we will get the $1.50 minimum bid price but I get a certain amount of enjoyment in taking the pictures, writing the story and getting it listed. And, hopefully, it may make someone happy by bringing back memories other than having used one like it to help cool themselves at a funeral before Air Conditioning.
