Here's an interesting go-with that I found at my regular Saturday morning auction stop last weekend. The walnut, maple and oak turnings and inlay show real craftsmanship but it was the King City 151 that really caught my eye. These King City pieces were used throughout the Colorado Springs area and quite a few were pulled off the Manitou Incline line when it was wrecked out. This one probably came off the side of a building since it still has a few sprinkles of grey paint on it.
