   There were cans of tomatoes that had rotted through the tin and leaked   
   everywhere but worst of all, there was a can of molasses that dripped down the   
   entire interior of the cabinet and stuck to all of the shelves.  The oak was   
   almost black and the shelves were destroyed but the outer glass was all in   
   great condition as was the door.  My husband and I didn't have kids yet so we   
   made this cabinet our baby and slowly and lovingly restored it.  I've enclosed   
   some photos of how it looks now, after we had glass shelves made for it.  And   
   that was our "stumbled upon" item ." Leslie R." We've posted three photos of   
   Leslie's china cabinet on our facebook page here: http://on.fb.me/13UehxX   
      
   "I didn't really "stumble" upon this, but I did trip over it.  I was at a flea   
   market, just browsing from table to table.  As I began to walk away from one   
   table I tripped over a box that was sticking out from underneath the table.    
   The man who was standing behind the table seemed frustrated, not at me, but at   
   the box that he told me, was always in the way.  I looked inside the box to   
   see it was filled with various RS Prussia pieces. I asked him what he wanted   
   for the box and he said $25.00 because some of the pieces were broken.  I   
   happened to be a collector and gladly paid the   
   $25.00.  When I got home, I discovered that he was correct, many of the   
   pieces were broken, but way at the bottom, under a towel that had been   
   "protecting" the other pieces, was an unscathed piece of cobalt prussia! Carol
