I think my jaw hit the table...I snatched it back and told her not to touch it again. She told me it was worth 10 bucks. I told her she was waayyyy off and I asked for Ted Hake. He unfortunately couldn't make the trip to Omaha. I sold the Kruschev and Mao nodders for about $2,000 on the Nodder Exchange a few years later.

In retrospect that just sounds hilarious, would love to have seen the look on your face. I just picture it and can't stop smiling and laughing, hilarious!!!!....I mean of course thank the lord she didn't damage them. But shaking them "violently"......great story!
