To those who have been so helpful in identifying the coverlet and it's history THANK YOU!! For those who are like me and responded that they hate to see things go from where the originated you will be very happy to know the Coverlet went from one historic Andes farm-the Campbell's- to another historic Andes farm The Gladstone's. Mr. Gladstone purchased the coverlet- $8,000.00 hope no one's heart quit on that amount, we all thought Chuck McIntosh was going to pass out!! His highest coverlet to date was $2600.00 so he really broke that record. There was also an original Jay Gould Map of Delaware County, they found rolled up in the attic. Mr. Gladstone also purchased that, I have to admit to visiting when the hammer went down on that one, but the last I heard was $700. The items were beautiful and went for very large amounts of money, a good many dealers left early-there were no bargains to be had. It's sad to see such a historical part of the counties history go up to the highest bidder, but it happens all over. However on this day, history remains in the town where it started- and that does this historians heart good. Enjoy the rest of the weekend Vesti Snyder Historian, Town of Middletown-Delaware County
