This is Temple Walker's bed. Eloise told the story about how they almost got rid of the bed. She said they had a bed they really liked, so they decided to take this bed to the auction. It had been painted with alligator shellac and they didn't need it. Just before my dad left for the auction, my mom leaned out the door and told him not to take less than $5 dollars for the bed. He brought it back home because no one would pay five dollars.
