These folks occasionally have some nice things.  I see a nice parlor cabinet (first photo, top row, page 1) that might have a few issues (molding botched near top-left in photo and shrinkage lines here & there).  I also see a very charming display stand with glass dome (bottom row, page 1, 3rd from left).  Somewhat less interesting is the little roll-top desk (second row, page 1, first photo) and a bunch of brass-&-onyx plant stands (2nd-to last row, page 1, far right). 

Anyway, I just thought that I would share...this might be worth going to if you live in Florida as there are good deals to be found down there (not a lot of old houses, but a lot of near-death folks who insisted on moving their family heirlooms to their retirement properties).

I see that they added some more photos since my initial post.  This does two things...1) it botches my little directions on how to find my favorite items as described in the initial post, and 2) they added a couple of really neat things, including an egret table/stand that would go nicely with one that I recently bought on ebay (looks to be same manufacturer). 

...that egret stand is this one --> http://antiqueauctionsfl.com/curren256.jpg
it is a pretty good match for this one at Southampton Antiques (I bought an "identical" one on ebay, minus whatever condition issues there might be) --> http://www.southamptonantiques.com/pd/pd-1270.html
...I call it my "regret table".

Things are kinda slow here on the board these last few days, "hey"?

Saw that egret table and though of your purchase as well.  You can buy it and regret it twice! ;-)
