it is more uncommon than common. As you go out in the country, you see it both ways. I was very happy to see them - my wife suggested that we go antiquing, which we both like. And went to a town called Adamstown, PA, only about 45 miles away. There were about 6 large antique malls - more expensive than shops near where we live, but the amount of things to look at was huge. I am pickier than I used to be, but sometimes things just jump out at you

Smaller Depression era bowl - gotta be green - my friend Bill and Mary will understand this picture

and something common but not ever looked at by me, a small bank book. This 1911 is almost life scale, made from metal (they said aluminum, but its not light) and makes a nice addition, I already have a Luger, should have bought the P38 I saw at another shop (likely same dealer, as it was same town and same type of stuff sold)
