    I was thinking the same thing... But have a feeling hubby will claim this one.. He seems to be partial to the poly ones...

    It is beautiful. When ever my Thrift shop has something like that or I should say they are usually rags by the time they get them, they put a crazy high price on it and it just sits there for months not being loved.
