Railroad items are popular and usually bring top prices. I do believe that this is just a little steep. BTW, my dad spent time in that hospital due to a yard accident while he worked for Santa Fe. He was crushed under a crane. He did recover and worked until retirement although his legs bothered him a lot.

They have changed it to Mulvane Ks now.

Will the real Moline, Kansas, hospital please stand up.

[Wilma]

This is the Shaffer House museum at Moline, Kansas.  And I was told a long time ago by a long time Moline person that it used to be a hospital.

[W. Gray]

The hospital is a nice museum.

I went through it for the first time last year.

There was one item I was most interested in.

However, I had to look around to locate it because they were unaware they had it.

I finally found it on the second floor -- a night stand from the Boston Hotel, Boston, Kansas.

I e-mailed David Brace and asked if he knows anything about another hospital.  Keep you posted.

Here is a another photo of the Mulvane, Kansas, hospital that is behind the horse drawn ambulance.

The fella wants $249.95 plus shipping for his postcard of the horse drawn ambulance in front of the Mulvane hospital.

As of today,

Alibris Books has a bookseller located in Kansas who wants $156.25 for Elk County, A Narrative History of Elk County and its People.

The book has "slight wear."

Other prices found for the same book are $103.99, $123.50, and $157.24.

What would my 2 hardly opened, bought for $20.00 each be worth?

[Janet Harrington]

People are just plain stupid.  All they would have to do is contact the Benson Museum Historical Society and get one for $20.00 plus s & h.  That would be a lot less then what people on eBay want.
