Collectibles

At OAR we have one room dedicated to rustic and outdoorsy decor stuff.
Things like outdoor pictures, metal candle holders, wooden signs, decorative plates, that sort of thing.
Somehow (and without really trying) we've managed to pick up a few things over the past few months that (it turns out) are classified as "collectible".
Collectible?  Who knew?  We didn't until a really fun guy came into the store yesterday and started playing around with the fishing reel below.
After he had played around with it for fifteen minutes, he spent another fifteen minutes surfing on my computer researching the thing.
Turns out this puppy is "collectible".
We still didn't think too much about it until a couple of "horse plates" came into the store.
After more research on the 'net it turns out that THEY'RE collectible as well.
A little more research and today we learned that OAR is the temporary home for quite a few interesting non-outdoor-gear stuff.

LA Huffman Westernware Chuck Wagon 7 3/4  Inch Salad/Dessert Plates.  Two of 'em.
These aren't classified as collectible but they ARE beautiful.
Large marble and granite plaque candle holders.  They've never been used, still include the screws, have the company name sticker and original price on the back.
They're pretty pricey new, but we've discounted them at OAR.
These are just a few of the decorative things we have in one dedicated space at the store.
I'd rather be messing around with head lamps and day packs, but for those who like rustic home decor, OAR has some cool and interesting stuff.
