This is so interesting. What strikes me is how modern the print is. I'd definitely use the fabric today.

That evaluation is shocking - I wouldn't have expected to see it go for more than 5000.

Yes it did seem very high. I wonder if he would actually get that if selling.

She did say for insurance value which is always higher.

What was the evaluation. I watched part but lost the end. 5000 seems high as it is,,
