seeking out items from old
homes.
An example of this pur-
suance of real antique treas
ure was Col. Burns pur-
chase of an unusual round
coffee table placed before
one of his two living room
fireplaces. The table is made
of a hard Spanish wood with
ornamental brass studs on
the surface. In the center
of the table is a sunken an
tique copper Spanish warm
ing pan. Nearly 400 years old,
such tables were a common
sight in Moorish Castles.
Inhabitants burned olive pits
in the pan to warm up a
room or area.
Col. Burns first saw such
an item in a Spanish antique
shop. The owner wouldn't
sell and insisted it was i'm
possible to find another. The
resolute colonel set of into
the countryside and found
his table in a little old junk
shop in Southern Spain.
That shop owner couldn't
believe his eyes when I re-
turned with it," Col. Burns
relates.

Ohio State University, this
collector was sent to Europe

brass and copper. Next, he
began to talk to people about
old brass and copper, haunt
