Two  oil Paintings worth thousand's of dollars hung for decades in  the basement  recreation  room of a man's childhood home  in Connecticut,

When the man's mother died in 2010 at the age of 99. An Estate removal Company gladly  offered the man  $125  each for the painting's, the man declined .and decided to have the painting's appraised,  Turns out the two painting's one of a winter hunting scene at Niagra Falls and the other an autumn view of  Mount Washington in New Hampshire were painted by  Jasper F. Cropsey a leading 19th century artist of the Hudson  River School .

The two 15 x 24  inch paintings. their varnish yellowed and crusted with dirt, are to be auctioned off  May 15th   at the Clarke auction Gallery in Larchmount, New york. the painting's are estimated to bring  $250.000 to $500.000 each , Readers will keep you up to date what the painting;s bring at auction, in the meantime check out those signed  paintings on your wall and write me , you just may have treasure hanging on a wall collecting dust ,
