"The State of Rough and Ready" seceded from.the Union ‘ .from within the area that just a short year later would officially be designated as the = County of Nevada. It was a scathingly ridiculed project, supported at best by fewer than 100 of the Brundage "followers" in that gold rush community . . .and it soon vanished into thin air or so its detractors had reason to believe. But the memory has lingered on and a few weeks ago the annual "Secession Days" celebration was held in Rough and Ready. . .which was named in memory of the great Zachary Taylor. The gala fete attracts hundreds yearly and this year's ] observance, attended by a certain degree of pomp and circumstance properly lightened by a good bit of tunmult and shouting, was no exception, One of the highlights of the event is the re-enactment, by, talented members of the small community, of certain dramatic moments connected with the "State" on which Brundage had pinned such high hopes 122 years ago. Among the few remaining "original" structures inthe town is the ''Toll House". . .now occupied by a wonderfully interesting antique shop owned and operated by Frank and DeEtta Marinelli. Frank is a native of San Francisco, DeEtta came from Iowa. They have lived in the community for eight years, Out of their mutual love of antiques came the decision to go into business for themselves, The purchase, just four years ago, of the Toll House made their dream come true. OWNER AND operator of the Toll House is Frank Marinelli, establishment in Rough and Ready. The store is open for business seven days a week the year around, -with the exception of advertised occasions when the Marinelli's take off on a round of buying trips. . .to renew and add to their unique "stock in trade." The doors open daily at about 10 a.m. and close around 5 p.m, in summer. During winter months an earlier closing, . .about 4 o'clock . AS generally observed. No reproductions of any kind are carried in stock or sold from this establishment, because the Marinellis deal only in authentic relics and artifacts representing several cultures and eras closely associated with the developement of the Northern Mines region of California's colorful gold rush country. Among some of the outstanding examples to be found in the Toll House display rooms and on its many shelves are Indian bead work and baskets; Civil War ceremonial nd battle swords; stunning old beds dating from the origin of the settlement and in "mint condition;" beautiful jewelry. . .some of the strictly "costume" variety. . some very expensive. . .but all very real; grandfather clocks and "turnip" watches; exquisite chinaware and ceramics; and intricately designed cut glass pieces from an elegant era, Then there are the "instant ancestors" if you wish, Pictures which undoubtedly graced the walls of formal sitting rooms, ball rooms and dining rooms of some of Western Nevada County's fine victorian mansions. . .pictures framed so beautifully that they cannot be shown on the front porch of the resisted by the canny buyer. Later dated items include stunning wrought-iron chandeliers and gayly decorated Chinese lamps, circa 1927, . . so very right for present-day family or rumpus rooms. . . for your vacation A-Frame or similar decorating situation. The list is almost endless, but the stock must be seen to be fully appreciated for its variety and high quality. Frank and DeEtta evidence a justifiable pride in their establishment and its wares, They invite browsers and buyers alike to enjoy it with them at any time. A visit to the Toll House today is an opportunity to visit California's past in pleasant surroundings where you are assured of a cordial welcome from its knowledgeable and friendly proprietors.
