Today was a legendary day for me at the antique ma

Today was a legendary day for me at the antique mall. I have at last found my white whale. My dream find. On a random Monday in Rochester.

The Story: I have always loved Jackie Gleason and grew up watching The Honeymooners. Still love it to this day. In my lifetime I have gone as Ralph Kramden for Halloween twice. (Like a weirdo) When I started collecting antiques, I began to accumulate Jackie Gleason albums. Then I got his board game. Then a postcard from the shows he filmed in Miami. Etc. etc. About 10 years ago I saw the Wolverine 1950s Jackie Gleason Tin Bus in an antique mall in PA. It was amazing but it was badly rusted and priced really high. I didn’t get it but the bus never left my mind. I always keep an eye out when in antique stores. For years I’ve done searches online and have found very few. Maybe 3 at most. All priced exorbitantly high. THIS MORNING, I looked again since Christmas is coming. No luck. Only found one and it was $550. Nope! So I closed the tab and said to myself “Forget it. I’m not looking anymore. If by some chance I ever find it out in the world I’ll get it. If not, I’ll live.”

I went to the antique mall this afternoon browsing for whatever. I was looking in a case and turned to glance at the other side of the aisle and - BOOM! I almost fell over. There it was. THERE IT WAS!!! It was RIGHT! THERE! It was beautiful, and priced reasonably, and I had a coupon and I stayed in the aisle guarding it until I could flag down someone to get it out of the case for me. I was completely stunned. Like - what the hell??? I guess it was meant to be. As Survivor once sang “The search is over. You were right before my eyes.” Anyway - It’s home with me now and as you can see already had it’s first photo shoot.

So, Merry Christmas to me. And, if the universe could also see fit to get me a Broadway contract and a golden retriever by the end of the day I’d be ready to lay down and call it a life well lived!
