Some of those Paper Mache pieces are worth a fair amount, especially ones that are lit with molded in series lights usually around the perimeter. Did you notice what they were asking for this guy Paul?

About $30. Would have been well worth it for a person going for a deliberate vintage look and room to hang it. I'm O for 2 on that score though.

Now that I think about it, it was cheap considering it condition. Maybe next September, I'll keep taking photos and sending them to you while the stuff is still there. :-)
