Week Forty-eight - "Vintage Collector!"




Part of Shoot #18 included a visit to a vintage antiques collector, Bill Johnson. His house and grounds were filled with more than you could imagine - cars, signage, glassware, and everything else! He led us on a grand tour of his "museum" with enough stories to keep us there for hours! While doing further research for this posting, I learned that Bill had passed away on November 22nd while attending an auction.

I feel fortunate in that I was able to visit with Bill and take in his tour. He talked about being on "American Pickers" and the tough time they had dealing with him. There is an "American Pickers" poster in the front window that is signed by Mike and Frank.

In America, it's not how much an item costs, it's how much you save.


(This might have one of Bill Johnson's mantras!)
