Flying Fickle Finger of Fate brings laughs to Kansas appraisal fair
At the Finney County Antiques Appraisal Fair the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate statue drew interest as an iconic token from Laugh In. Antique appraisers shared stories behind items including a James Dean signed letter valued at 5 000 to 6 000 dollars while noting the fate of the award as a humorous insult rather than a prize.
