Lol, so did mine. Apparently, there is a yearly auction with one of the Washington state based social organizations. She bought her JC Penny model for a few dollars, but said they had really beautiful and old ones, the highest price reached being the $60’s and $70’s.
If I ever find out more, I’ll make a post about it.

I’m glad you had a positive interaction. My ears perk up at the word “trove”!
