Hello I stopped in at my favorite thrift store and just saw a very excited young man walking out with a beautiful French easel. I don't know the make or price of it but looked very nice, and he had a smile bright as day...I several years ago picked up a beautiful old Grumbacher model in this same store for $12 if I recall so it couldn't have been much more than that. I did find a ziplock baggie of a few kneaded erasers with 20 caran d`ache graphite blocks, a half-used jar of charcoal powder and a 14"x17" Itoya Profolio. The Profolio has 8 sheets of sanded Pastel Premiere boards in it. I got all of this for $18.
