Lynda Seal has golden time for the HoPpers!
Howllo Fellow Hound and gold watch lovers! Our friend Lynda Seal of AZBR sent in a package of gold and 2 golden watches for the House of Puddles Gold Rush. Her gold package was valued at 50.00 and is currently reflected on the firstgiving page.
Well, I just got to the watch shop today to obtain the value of the watches.
The larger one that is on the far left was worth 24.00 and that was for the casing only. The band was not gold. The two in the middle were not gold. The smaller one that is on the right of the watch grouping dated back to the late 1800s was only worth 2.00 for it’s parts, but every cent counts folks.
You guys would not have believed this watch shop and jewelery store. It is a few towns over but it is like stepping back in time. It was so cool. They are called Cleves and Lonneman. I cannot wait to go back. They also take sterling silver flatware so send any old pieces of flatware that you have and I will march it down to them for doe! I love this place and the folks are so nice.
As an aside, you would not believe the people waiting in line to cash in gold and silver. It was kind of odd. I have never seen anything like this in my life.
Lynda, thank you so much. Your donations have totaled close to 80.00 for the HOP. You ROCK!
Want to look at our Firstgiving page? Of course you do!
