    I've seen similar in the old catalogs. They are works of art. How many of them did you get?

    Is that an old cork floor. What is that interesting jar? on the floor. Those are the prettiest I've ever seen. They must be late 1800s/early1900? Do you have the house or just the rads? Tell us more!
