A chance of a lifetime -' Description THIS IS TRULEY AMAZING.  AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN SOMETHING THAT IS SO MYSTERIOUS AND AMAZING.  AT THE VERY LEAST IT IS AN ANITIQUE AND PROBABLY WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.  BUT THAT IS NOT WHY IT IS UP FOR AUCTION.  IT IS ALL ABOUT A LITTLE BOY.  AND WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS LITTLE BOY.  PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS TRULEY AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME TO OWN SOMETHING AS SPECIAL AS THIS.!!!  i I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE ACURATELY THE EVENTS THAT BROUGHT US TO THIS DECISION TODAY.  Okay, this is very very wierd. I am just going to tell you what happened, and you can be the judge. It is hard to know where to start and I don;t want to be writing for the next 5 hours, so I am going to try to make this as short and to the point as possible. I have believed and have been very very interested in what surrounds us. By this I mean what we don't see. To me, it is extremely narrow minded to think that we are alone and are the sole beings. There are so many documented things and undocumented things that proves the theory, that we are all that is, wrong. I have found in my travels many things that don't make sense to the naked eye. I am always saying that just because you can not see it, it does not mean it is not there. If you open your mind to the possibility of other beings, other spirits, other souls, whether alive or deceased, you would be surprised at what you can feel and learn. By other beings, it could be a spirit, a ghost, a sense of not being alone. Weird things happen all the time. Good things that defy logic and medicine are considered miracles. And bad things..........well, lets not go there..... My very best friend in the world, Ruthie, has thought for years and years (as long as I have known her) that ghosts and spirits. have lived with her. I am very interested in these things, and would and do, always encourage her to talk about them. We have seen some pretty amazing things thru the years. We have seen and felt some things that no one would believe unless they were with us and saw/felt it themselves.  Some we talk about, some we don't. It's hard because everyone does not believe in things they do not see.  Some "things" I see very clearly and she does not, and visa versa. But we know from so much experience, that not all people want to know about these things.   When we were little, Ruthie spoke of a little girl playmate named queen. She would go on and on about playing house with queen and she always spoke of play cooking with queen. She would talk of food that "they" made for dinner etc....When we were kids, she would tell me the stories, and I would listen so intently, and knew then even at a young age that this was real. Naturally, her parents thought Ruthie was speaking of an "invisable friend". With no way to prove them wrong, it was just easier to agree with her parents and leave the playing stuff with Queen between me and her. Life went on and like I said, we have seen some really great and amazing things through the years.  When Ruthie was about 12 ish, HER MOTHER punished her by grounding her for 1 whole month.  She was told that if she did not stop demanding the Queen was real, she was going to be grounded for the entire summer.  So, after a lot of tears, Ruthie told Queen to leave her alone because she didn't want to get in more trouble.  When Queen would come to play, Ruthie would ignore her. Ruthie was a kid too after all.   After a while, we think Queen got tired of being ignored and just stopped coming.  I remember the day that Ruthie said, "oh, my God, She hasn't come in a whole week!!)" After that, Queen no longer came and played with her.  It was very weird and sad.  All of a sudden, no more Queen.  Ruthie missed her so much she tried and tried to get her to come back but to no avail. Our lives went on.....without Queen.  There were many other  entities over the years....  but we never forgot about Queen.  She was such a nice and fun playmate.    We never found out what happened to her though.  I don't know why we didn't ask her.  All I can think of is we were young and it really didn't matter how she came to us, as long as she did.  We grew up and got married.  I have two boys and Ruthie tried to get pregnant for the longest time.... and finally, Ruthie had a son 7 years ago, and he is the cutest thing you ever saw!  Her mom still lived in the same house that Ruthie grew up in and she watched Sean 3 days a week while Ruthie worked.  About 2 ½ years ago, Sean started to talk about a playmate who would play with him all the time.  Ruthies mom thought that Ruthie had told him about her “invisible playmate” and that Sean was pretending that he had the same “friend”.  So she didn’t think much of it at first, and thought that Sean would grow out of it soon if she did not make a big deal out of it.  But soon Sean didn't want to go outside to play with the other kids much, and he got less and less interested in playing with the neighborhood kids.  Sean finally told Ruthie about Queen and so many  memories started coming back.  She called me and we talked about everything for a long long time.  We tried to explained to Sean some things in words he could understand, hoping not to scare him.  Of course he made it clear that he was not afraid of anything.  We tried to make sure that he was Not Scared.  We talked about what was happening over and over and over.  We tried to see if  Queen would come and play with us too, but she would not. One of the Sean and Queens favorite things to do, was to pretend cooking.  (just like when Ruthie and I were kids).  Sean would tell us of the old stove and the pots and pans, how they were little but heavy.  He would say things like the pans are not like the ones we use now.  He would even tell us how they had to pretend to go get the coal to heat the stove.  He said he thought it was very wierd at first, but then he got used to it.  He had also confirmed that Queen was in the land of the living when you still had to get coal to heat the stove.  He had so many details, there was no way he could have known everything if he was making it up.     Well, when Ruthies mom had enough, she  told Sean it was just a lot of nonsense.  She went so far as to tell him that if he kept on insisting that this playmate existed, people would not believe him and they would laugh at him and he would have no friends.  We sat down with Sean and he  asked a lot of questions. We told him that Queen used to play with his mommy and that he could play with her anytime he wanted to.   … but we could tell that Ruthie;s mom got to him a little, he seemed a little ashamed.  We still don’t know exactly everything  she said to him.  He tells us what he remembers, but who knows what else!   He was a little scared so we tried to back off a little and wait and see if he wanted to talk more about it.  So life went on… for a about a year…… About 4 weeks ago Ruthie’s mom passed away.  It was a difficult time. Ruthie had good memories, but also had a lot of not so good memories.  I went with her to help her pack up her mom's stuff and to be there for moral support.  We were packing up the stuff in the attic to get ready to sell, and we were boxing clothes etc and wrapping the delicates.…  We went up to the room where Sean slept as a child and started to pack up his things, and in the back of the closet, wrapped up in hankerchiefs we found IT!!  it was shocking to say the least.... AN OLD, VERY OLD (80-130 YEARS OLD- we did some research… it is at least 80 years old) CAST IRON TOY STOVE, WITH PANS AND POTS, AND EVEN A COAL BASKET TO GET THE COAL WITH!!!!!!!!!!!  AND QUESS WHAT IT SAID ACROSS THE FRONT……….WRITTEN INTO THE ACTUAL IRON…….QUEEN!!!!!   A TON OF OLD MEMORIES CAME FLOODING BACK. WE COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT.  RUTHIES SAID THERE IS NO CHANCE IN…… THAT THIS WAS NOT THE very SAME PLAY STOVE THAT SHE AND QUEEN USED TO PLAY WITH. SHE REMEMBERED SOMETHING WAS WRITTEN ON THE STOVE, BUT SHE COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID UNTIL NOW. QUEEN!!!! THIS WHOLE THING IS CRAZY!!! CRAZY AND WONDERFUL AT THE SAME TIME.  UNFORTUNATLEY, SEAN IS NOW more than a LITTLE AFRAID.  NOTHING HAS HURT HIM, BUT HE WANTS QUEEN TO GO AWAY. We wish he did not feel like this, but he is a child, and we have to make him feel safe and secure.  He is REALLY spooked.,......SO THAT  IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO SELL QUEENS STOVE, IN HOPES THAT WHOEVER WINS THIS AUCTION WILL BE QUEENS NEW PLAYMATE. AWSOME ISN’T IT??????  Ruthie and I tried and tried to get Queen to come back.  We were hoping she would come back and "play" with us.  But she would not.  All we can figure is that she only wants to play with another child.  It all kind of makes sense that way.  We don't know when she actually passed away in real life, but we knew that it was a long time ago and we know that she had many other playmates because she would tell Ruthie, when she was younger, about her other friends.    Then she came to Ruthie, and then her son.  We believe she would not come and play with us because we were not children anymore.  Queen is looking for another young adult or child to play with.  Will you be her friend?.................................... SO GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BID, MAKE SURE YOUR UP TO THE TASK FIRST.  WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO END UP IN A STORAGE BIN PACKED AWAY, or DISPLAYED SOMEWHERE.   WE WANT TO GIVE QUEEN A NEW PLAYMATE.  THIS TOY STOVE IS REALLY PRICELESS.  ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE STARTING THIS BID IN THE $90'S IS TO MAKE SURE WHOEVER WINS THIS IS GOING TO BE MATURE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY.  WE DO NOT WANT JUST ANYBODY TO HAVE THIS.  WE HOPE YOU REALIZE WHAT A WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCE THIS IS GOING TO GIVE YOU.  I AM REALLY TEMPTED TO KEEP IT MYSELF, BUT WE ARE DOING THIS FOR SEAN and QUEEN.  PLEASE REMEMBER THOUGH, QUEEN IS STILL A LITTLE GIRL.  BE PATIENT, AND WAIT FOR HER TO COME AND PLAY.  I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SHE WILL SEEK ANOTHER PLAYMATE, BUT YOU MUST BE PATIENT WITH HER.  ONCE SHE IS COMFORTABLE WITH YOU, SHE WILL COME TO PLAY OFTEN. - THIS IS AMAZING!!   GOOD LUCK!!!      MESSAGE FROM EBAYER:   Wow what a neat and wonderful story you have. I would love to bid on this item but sadly cannot afford it. My own child now 7 talks to "someone" in her room when playing alone. We believe we have a spirit also a little girl in our house. We hear giggling when my girls are away, closets get messed up without them ever being opened by a human, and my kitchen stuff never stays organized. It is wonderful of you to share this story.. and the item with others. If I could afford the stove I would be curious as to if the "little girl" in our house would play with Queen. Anyway thank you again for sharing. Sorry I can't afford to help Sean, I hope things get better for him so he can see how special it is that Queen wanted to play with him. - fatmechanic   ,  We are required by law to state that anything we sell is for entertainment purposes only.
